Part of Prospect’s IGNITE Series, a concert initiative featuring new voices shaping tomorrow’s musical theater, the New Musicals Mixtape features new musicals written by members of the Latiné Musical Theatre Lab’s Julia de Burgos Cohort. The Latiné Musical Theatre Lab hosted 6 teams of writers in Fall 2023, offering mentorship and support for Latiné writers to develop their shows. Over three months, the cohort met bi-weekly, facilitated by Rose Van Dyne and Amelia Johnson, creating a dynamic space for collaboration, creativity, and growth. New Musicals Mixtape featured songs from the six work-in-progress musicals, alongside interviews with the musicals’ writing teams.
