Presented in partnership with Latiné Musical Theatre Lab (Ryan Morales Green, Founder and Producing Artistic Director).

During Fall 2023, the Latiné Musical Theatre Lab hosted six teams of writers working on new musicals as part of their in-person Julia de Burgos Cohort. This program propels Latiné writers in their journey to further develop their shows, offering mentorship and support. Over the course of three months, the cohort met bi-weekly, facilitated by Rose Van Dyne and Amelia Johnson, creating a dynamic space for collaboration, creativity, and growth.
