LAKEWOOD, OH The Beck Center for the Arts will premier five 15 minute musicals.
The 15 minute musicals are part of a partnership between the Beck Center and the Baldwin Wallace University Music Theatre Program. Each of the musicals is new and was chosen by the National Alliance for Musical Theatre (NAMT), the organization said. Pandemic or no, we were determined that this 10th anniversary of the Beck Center/Baldwin Wallace collaboration
must go on. With the addition of the National Alliance for Musical Theatre as a partner, we could not be more excited to offer the World Premieres of five brand new musicals, said Scott Spence, artistic director for Beck Center.
