Amas Musical Theatre (Donna Trinkoff, Artistic Prod) has announced the fifth year of The Eric H. Weinberger Award for Emerging Librettists, a juried cash and production grant to be given annually to support the early work and career of a deserving musical theatre librettist. The Award commemorates the life and work of playwright/librettist Eric H. Weinberger (1950-2017.) The winner will receive $2,000 to help pay cost-of-living expenses. The winning musical will receive development assistance in the 2024 New Works Development Program of Amas Musical Theatre, which is administering the Award. The development assistance culminates in the work being rehearsed and performed by New York theatre professionals in an Amas Lab production.  Submissions will be open until Dec 2, 2022.  All submissions must be sent through an online application that can be found at https://www.amasmusical.org/eric-h-weinberger-award. Only one submission per playwright/librettist will be accepted. The winner of the award will be announced in March/April 2023. Press contact: Richard Hillman PR (646/234-5716)...
