On Thursday, April 24 2025 writers Kate Rankine and Vaheed Talebian workshopped their new musical ‘Blood is Thicker’ as part of SandboxMusicals’ new Playspace program. Check out photos from the workshop.
SandboxMusicals is a new organization based in New York, NY that is dedicated to the development and growth of musical theatre through experimentation and play. SandboxMusicals’ Playspace program hosts 90-minute micro-workshops of scenes/songs from new musicals in development.
The workshops aim to answer questions about the show presented by the writer(s), as well as facilitate new collaborative relationships in a low-risk setting between writers, directors, music directors and performers with a passion for new musical theatre.
‘Blood is Thicker’ is a new contemporary pop musical that follows protagonist Cayden and his partner Tate as they explore the cycle of parenting, and what it means to be queer parents. To do so, they must reconcile with their own fractured familial history.
