The Project: Shakespeare Off-Broadway

This project is two things at once, conducting an academic seminar and producing an off-Broadway musical. The Virginia B. Ball Center for Creative Inquiry, a program of Ball State University, is conducting a seminar called Creating, Rehearsing and Producing a New Musical Theatre Work. In the project, students are collaborating with theatrical composer Raphael Crystal and lyricist Deloss Brown in the creation of a new musical comedy adapted from Shakespeare's Love's Labour's Lost.
