It's nice to have another one of these spring up. Looks like it's a
similar concept to the NY Musical Theatre Festival. It seems to spawl
over several months at many venues:
[from the website} "In May-June, 2008, The FESTIVAL OF NEW AMERICAN
MUSICALS will celebrate the triumphant return of the American musical.
The FESTIVAL, the first Southern California-wide cultural event since
the 1984 Olympic Arts festival
We are working to enlist everybody: from the Hollywood Bowl and LA
Master Chorale; to the Rubicon Theater in Ventura; to South Coast Rep:
to The La Jolla Playhouse and Old Globe in San Diego; to high schools
and colleges throughout the Southland."
