Last summer, SIVA launched its program with a successful production of The Last Five Years by Jason Robert Brown. This summer, we will be premiering our comprehensive program; complete with classes in acting, voice coaching, movement for actors, and master classes with professionals in the performing arts industry. We are also excited to have the young artists in our program performing in a mainstage production of the 2012 updated version of GODSPELL by Stephen Schwartz.

Ms. Forsythe is a philanthropist, successful entrepreneur and owner of the Willowdale Estate, an award winning events and catering company on the North Shore of Massachusetts, which serves as a corporate sponsor for the Summer Institute for the Vocal Arts.

She has appeared in leading roles in major opera houses and concert halls including, Houston Grand Opera, New York City Opera, Alice Tully Hall, Carnegie Hall, and The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. Beginning her work as a teacher a decade ago, Ms. Tamagini found it most rewarding to lay the foundation for a solid technique in singers that were qualified to train prior to conservatory studies. Her method integrates a sound, scientifically based vocal technique and text training, which acknowledges the individual learning styles and vocal temperament of each young artist. Ms. Tamagini students have gone on to pursue musical studies in such institutions as The Juilliard School, Eastman School of Music, Manhattan School of Music, Jacobs School of Music at Indiana University, Mannes College of Music, NYU Steinhardt and Tisch, Wagner College, Syracuse University, Ithaca College, Boston University, Harvard University, Carnegie Mellon University, and Berklee College of Music to name a few, as well as trained singers who went on to American Idol and The Voice. Ms. Tamagini has served on the voice faculty of Phillips Academy in Andover, Massachusetts and is proud to be part of the founding voice faculty of The Special Music School High School in New York City, which is a collaboration between the Elaine Kaufman Cultural Center and the New York City Department of Education. In addition to teaching at The Special Music School, Ms. Tamagini maintains a successful private voice studio in New York City and Boston North, where she trains young professionals and high school students preparing for conservatory studies, as well as continuing to enjoy an active singing schedule.

    FROM THE NATIONAL ALLIANCE FOR MUSICAL THEAtre’s PresideNT Welcome to our 24th Annual Festival of New Musicals! The Festival is one of the highlights of the NAMT year, bringing together 600+ industry professionals for two days of intense focus on new musical theatre works and the remarkably talented writing teams who create them. This year we are particularly excited not only about the quality, but also about the diversity—in theme, style, period, place and people—represented across the eight shows that were selected from over 150 submissions. We’re visiting 17th-century England and early 20th century New York. We’re spending some time in the world of fairy tales—but not in ways you ever have before. We’re visiting Indiana and Georgia and the world of reality TV. Regardless of setting or stage of development, every one of these shows brings something new—something thought-provoking, funny, poignant or uplifting—to the musical theatre field. This Festival is about helping these shows and writers find their futures. Beyond the Festival, NAMT is active year-round in supporting members in their efforts to develop new works. This year’s Songwriters Showcase features excerpts from just a few of the many shows under development (many with collaboration across multiple members!) to salute the amazing, extraordinarily dedicated, innovative work our members do. A final and heartfelt thank you: our sponsors and donors make this Festival, and all of NAMT’s work, possible. We tremendously appreciate your support! Many thanks, too, to the Festival Committee, NAMT staff and all of you, our audience.

    GRETCHEN CRYER AND NANCY FORD: ELEVATING THE FEMALE VOICE IN AMERICAN MUSICAL THEATER A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE DIVISION OF THE UNIVERSITY OF HAWAI‘I AT MĀNOA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS IN MUSIC DECEMBER 2018 By Nancy Jane Kerns Thesis Committee: Katherine McQuiston, Chairperson Abigail Fine Laurence Paxton DEDICATION For my parents, Ellen Louise (Denzer) Kerns and Charles Fredric Kerns i ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I am grateful for the support of so many people as I wrote my thesis. My Ohio visits with my sister, Pat, and my brother, Mike, and their families were filled with days of research, writing, and editing. They understood, and have continuously nurtured and cheered me on. My friends (and I wish I could name them all) have listened to, consoled, and encouraged me through many challenging moments, and celebrated with me in the happiest ones. My thesis committee generously provided the guidance I needed to see this project through. My patient and compassionate advisor, Dr. Kate McQuiston, spent countless hours wading through drafts, and consulting in person. Through her wisdom and writing expertise I was able to achieve far better results than I could have accomplished on my own. Dr. Abigail Fine provided perspectives, from the initial proposal through the final product, which changed the nature of my thesis, and greatly aided my writing process in general. In addition to his assistance with this project, Professor Laurence Paxton has guided me through two vocal performance degrees, and, as department chairperson, constantly looked after me during my thirteen years of learning.

    320nd NOVEMBER 19–20, 2020 32ND ANNUAL FESTIVAL OF NEW MUSICALS 1 FROM THE NATIONAL ALLIANCE FOR MUSICAL THEATRE’S PRESIDENT WELCOME TO OUR 32ND ANNUAL FESTIVAL OF NEW MUSICALS! I look forward to this journey every year: usually a physical journey to NYC to see old friends, meet new ones, and immerse myself in the exhilaration of NAMT’s Festival. This year, of course, will be different: I’ll travel to the world of the Festival while in Buffalo, but it will be just as eye-opening, poignant, enjoyable and provocative. I never know where the Festival will take me, but I know that during these two days I will feel a surprising and strong gamut of emotions. Not only will I be entertained and challenged, but I will also have perspectives and opinions reinforced one minute and completely altered the next. We’re delighted that you’re here to join us for these two days—truly just the beginning of the journey for these unique musical theatre pieces and their extraordinarily talented writers. I congratulate each of the writers who participated in this event and thank them for their creativity, intelligence, talent, and courage, which is the lifeblood of our artistic industry. We hope you’ll want to blaze a development path with them. Every year the Festival inspires many long-term relationships among writers, theatres, producers, directors and performers, and we expect this year will again initiate many partnerships, in new and varied ways. NAMT believes that the best way to encourage that ongoing development is to give our writers every possible opportunity to showcase their best work.
