Southern Comfort
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.

Star Treatment Evan Kasprzak ’10 shares his knowledge of the entertainment industry with Illinois Wesleyan students. Story by KIM HILL When Illinois Wesleyan theatre arts instructor Sheri Marley told her dance students that Evan Kasprzak ’10 would be teaching a master class on campus, she didn’t have to list his credentials. “They just went crazy,” recalls Marley, who has taught dance and choreographed productions at IWU since 1989. “I overheard a few of them say, ‘I can’t believe he’s here! I remember watching him on TV in high school.’ I thought a few of the Evan Kasprzak '10 flies high in front of School of Theatre Arts Building. (Photo by Marc Featherly) girls might faint.” Current theatre students get excited over Kasprzak for several reasons. They feel they know him from his star-making appearances on the Fox dance competition program So You Think You Can Dance (SYTYCD), they know his role as “Elmer” in the original Broadway company of Newsies The Musical, and they respect his reputation around the School of Theatre Arts (SoTA) for being the nice guy who’s succeeding in a tough business.
