Your first visit
Feeling unsure the first time is normal. Most groups are glad when someone new walks in.
First step: Join the mailing list on musicolab.org to hear about the next showcase. Writers and composers can send their work through the Submissions page..
What to expect
The site does not say how long a showcase runs, what it costs, or who usually attends. The group describes its showcases as readings and selections of new musicals. Ask about the venue and the price before you go.
Tips for your first visit
