Theatre Now To Host Dorico Workshop For Musical Theatre Composers

Theatre Now will host a special Industry Night specifically for musical theatre composers on Monday, May 19th at 6:30pm featuring a workshop on Dorico, the music notation and composition software.

The evening will begin with a Q&A with Daniel Spreadbury, Product Marketing Manager for Dorico publisher Steinberg, followed by a tutorial led by Jacinth Greywoode, Richard Rodgers Award-winning composer, Music Supervisor for Broadway's Cult of Love and Associate Music Director for Encore's Wonderful Town. Attendees will then be given a chance to work independently and receive individual attention from other Theatre Now experts including Kat Cartusciello (music assistant to Jason Robert Brown) and Ernie Bird (BMI Advanced Musical Theatre Workshop).

Attendees are asked to bring a laptop or similar device and have Dorico installed, either the full version, the 60-day free trial of Dorico Pro 6 or the free Dorico SE 6. All software is available at www.steinberg.net/dorico. As always, the evening will end with socializing and a wine and cheese reception.

Theatre Now's final Industry Night of the season will feature a Master Class with Tony Award-winning librettist Rachel Sheinkin (The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee) on June 23rd.
