We’re thrilled to share The Table Read with you, a monthly newsletter from the New Works Department at the National Alliance for Musical Theatre.

Who is our New Works Department? Well, it begins with 575 Alumni Writers from our annual Festival of New Musicals and extends to a community of 200+ Grantee projects produced and developed all across the country by a network of over 200 member theatres and individuals, including over 300 Artistic, Producing and New Works Staff and commercial and creative producers, all working together to push the art forward. And then there are those of you we haven’t met yet or are just learning about this community. We hope this newsletter becomes a crossroads for all of us and centers not only what we do, but how, why and what else we’re working toward.

Keep an eye out for stories like these and other exciting professional development resources. Thank you for being a part of our New Works Department.
