DreamWorks Theatricals and Music Theatre International, in partnership with NBCUniversal’s Global Talent Development & Inclusion (GTDI) team, have announed the DreamWorks Theatricals/MTI Emerging Writers Program, a new partnership that will identify diverse teams of bookwriters, composers and lyricists with unique voices and points of view to develop musical adaptations of popular DreamWorks Animation titles intended for the Music Theatre International catalogue. This one-year, paid program will be open to both individual writers and writing teams who can build upon the Studio’s commitment to telling stories that appeal to and reflect the vast diversity of its audiences. Selected applicants will develop a DreamWorks Animation title for the stage, guided by executives from DreamWorks Theatricals and industry ambassadors to craft their musicals from treatment to completed show. The program also provides access to various industry professionals and agents via roundtable discussions, master classes, and individual meetings to advance career development. Applicants will be required to submit a completed application, writing samples, release forms, résumé and personal essay; letters of recommendation are optional. Applications will be accepted in the Fall of 2021, with specific dates TBA. For more information, visit https://universaltalentdevelopment.com/dreamworks-theatricals.
