David Sisco and Laura Josepher, owners of ContemporaryMusicalTheatre.com, are launching a new radio show on MusicalTheatreRadio.com on Saturday, January 16 at 10 AM (EST).
Their 30-minute show, "In Between the Lines," will feature well-written, under-performed contemporary musical theatre songs with insights on why the songs are great. Guest writers and writing teams will go more in depth into their writing process and share what they're currently working on.
Created by Jean-Paul Yovanoff, Musical Theatre Radio is a free internet radio station playing show tunes from stage musicals both popular and rare from around the world, with a mandate of promoting new creators and their shows. MTR is based in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, runs 24/7, 365 days of the year, and broadcasts in Canada, the United States, and the United Kingdom.
David and Laura run ContemporaryMusicalTheatre.com, the largest online database of contemporary musical theatre writers and songs. "We're so grateful to Jean-Paul Yovanoff at Musical Theatre Radio for offering us a time slot on his station," said Josepher. "It's a natural next step in the work we've been doing to lift up great contemporary musical theatre writers and songs."
