2019 DISCOVER: New Musicals

​

Baayork Lee, Artistic Director of National Asian Artists Project (NAAP), is pleased to announce the 6th Annual DISCOVER: New Musicals, a presentation of staged-readings of new short or one-act musicals performed by casts of professional Asian-American actors in New York City. This program complements NAAP’s REDISCOVER series, in which casts perform classic or established works of the American musical theater.

 

This year’s DISCOVER: New Musicals will take place May 6, 2019 at Theatre 315 (located at 315 West 47th Street, at 7:30pm).

 

NAAP will fund, produce, and invite industry professionals to the musicals presented. In the interest of continuing to also develop artistic leaders, NAAP will provide a director for each selected piece from their roster of experienced directors.

 

Project Eligibility: It is NOT necessary for the writers/composers to be of Asian descent. Also, the musical’s style, theme, and subject matter are open, but the piece should be able to be realized with an Asian-American cast. Only musicals of less than 30 minutes in length will be considered. Please indicate the running time of your submission. The submission may be excerpted from a longer musical, but the excerpt must feel complete in itself.

​

Application Process:

The one-page application is available for download. Please mail the completed application with 3 copies of your script and 1 demo CD of the work with vocals; as well as emailed electronically (pdf and mp3) to Discover@NAAProject.org. If the submission for consideration is an excerpt, then submit only the excerpt. Full-length shows will not be considered. Professional demos are not required, but keep in mind poor audio can affect how a work is understood. Mail to NAAP’s administrative office:
