STEPHEN SCHWARTZ HOSTS: THE ASCAP FOUNDATION MUSICAL THEATRE WORKSHOP
May 6, 2025
7:00 PMThe ASCAP Foundation presents a unique double bill of new musicals. Be the first to experience these new works before they have their initial productions, as we celebrate the next generation of our ASCAP family.
The ASCAP Foundation Musical Theatre Workshop alumni Roslyn Catracchia and Peter Seibert will present an excerpt of their new musical Piney Needlesmith and the Road Less Traveled. For our second workshop of the evening, Julian Hornik, Khiyon Hursey, and Mark Sonnenblick will present selections from their adaptation of Weekend, based on the film by Andrew Haigh. Following each presentation, the legendary Stephen Schwartz will host a roundtable discussion with the writers and other masters of the craft.
Piney Needlesmith and the Road Less Traveled — A heartwarming family musical set in a fantastical Christmas universe that tells the story of a misfit pine tree in search of her place in the world.
WEEKEND — Inspired by Andrew Haigh’s romantic drama, this theatrical adaptation follows two strangers who meet on a Friday and spend an unexpected weekend together. Contains explicit content.
This evening is supported by the Kenward Elmslie Fund.
