Need someone to write with? Come to our Collaborator Speed Date!
Unless you’re some kind of writing triple-threat wunderkind that can pull off book, music & lyrics, if you want to write musicals, you’re going to need a partner . . . or two . . . or six.
But where do you find them?
I’ve gotten a bunch of emails lately that have said something like, “Help! I have so many ideas that I want to see on the stage, but I can’t write (insert music, lyrics, or book here). How do I find someone to write with?”
Well, we’ve decided to help!
On Tuesday, March 1st, from 7 PM – 9 PM, we’re going to hold our very first Collaborator Speed Date!
We’re inviting all librettists, composers, and lyricists to come to our studio, and mix-it-up with other librettists, composers and lyricists. We’ll provide the snacks. You provide the creativity.
Maybe you’ve never written with anyone before. Or maybe you’ve written with a partner for a long time and want to meet someone different.
Maybe you have a fully fleshed-out score. Or maybe you just have an idea you want to bounce off some people to see who else is passionate about it.
Wherever you are in your concept or your career, come to the Collaborator Speed Date. Meet other people just like you. And then make something great.
Here are the details:

Ken, this is brilliant! Would there be a way to do this sort of thing online for those of us outside the NYC area?
I’d love to be there but I’ll be out of town that week. Hopefully next time!
What a great idea…I love it!
This is so cool! What a brilliant idea!
Can’t wait to be there!! Flying for Dallas TX!

Wishing I had to ability to be there. *sigh* Next time.
I was afraid I wouldn’t know anyone and be stuck in a corner. I was afraid I’d find a lot of razor-sharp competitive people and be pushed into a corner.
What I experienced on 49th Street was a roomful of talented people enthusiastic about their music, their stories, their passion – about theater.
The four-minute speed dates ensured we each met lots of new people. We exchange business cards, show cards, info flyers – and as a book writer and lyricist who is a “story wizard” (my business card), I saw doors opening to a bright future.
Thanks, Ken. This was a nifty idea.
whole of the UK but of course most of our work is in London .
Please let me know if you’re looking for a writer for your blog. You have some really good posts and I feel I would be a good asset. If you ever want to take some of the load off, I’d really like to write some content for your blog in exchange for a link back to mine. Please shoot me an e-mail if interested. Cheers!
