Master Class Opportunity - Scott Alan

Hello, readers!

I just wanted to let you know about an amazing opportunity that Scott Alan (Composer/Lyricist) is offering in 2011. Each month throughout the year, Scott will be bringing in guest artists for a year long series of FREE Master Classes!

"Once a month, I will offer a two hour masterclass at a rehearsal space in New York City. Each class will center on something different pertaining to musical theatre and ways to grow in the field. In addition, each month will host a special guest who will be on hand for the 'Q&A' session with a Broadway Personality. I have already started lining up guests. Those joining us will include Tony Award winning Actors and Actresses; long running featured members of Broadway's hit shows; Award Winning Composers and Lyricist (both established and up and coming); Award Winning Choreographers; Set Designers; Costume Designers; Casting Directors and many many more!!!

In order to get accepted, you must write an essay explaining what theatre means to you and why you'd be a good candidate. For more information, click here! **Essays are due by November 15th!**

Scott also just released another great album, WHAT I WANNA BE WHEN I GROW UP. Visit his website for more information on all of his work.

Hello Readers!

I will soon be returning to NYC and working again with Music Theatre International. With my experiences meeting people across North America on Disney's Beauty and the Beast, I've tried to share a wonderful site that I helped developed last year. It's MTIShowspace: Where Theatre People CLICK (thank you...)! Now that the site is fully running and has thousands of active users, I'd like to share it with you--my colleagues!

This is a great way to promote yourself, ask questions and find answers from a world wide theatre community. I received an offer to do WEST SIDE STORY last year just from having my resume posted on my profile!

Be sure to check it out! It's free to join!
