NAMT headed to the beautiful winter wonderland of Southeastern Connecticut for the Winter 2011 New Works Summit, hosted by Goodspeed Musicals! At the Summit, NAMT members and Festival of New Musicals alumni gathered to discuss developing new musicals while attending Goodspeed's 6th Annual Festival of New Artists.

The Festival of New Artists took place at Goodspeed all weekend with three readings of new musicals, two cabarets and festival seminars and symposia on the creation of new musicals, plus movie screenings, tours of the Opera House and more!

The New Works Summit is a great chance for us to gather to see some great shows and discuss models and new trends in developing new musicals. At the Summit, members had the chance to see the shows with your colleagues in attendance which made the exchange of ideas easily accesible with all of us in the same room.
