The purpose of THE PITCH is to provide a venue for creative teams to explore their vision of a musical theatre piece in its earliest stages and to garner audience reactions to assist them in the development of the final product. Three members of the creative team (composer, playwright, musical director, etc.) present a 40 to 50 minute summary version of their musical theatre piece. Instrumentation will be on piano and or other instruments which members of the creative team may play. The Festival will provide a piano only. All vocals must be performed live. If it is a book musical, it must contain substantial pieces of at least five songs. Solid descriptive narration or scene setting will be a critical part of the presentation. A maximum of twenty projects will be selected. Each week for ten weeks (June 14- August 18, 2012) two creative teams will be invited to “pitch” their idea. Each team will have four presentations before live audiences, in the 100-seat Theater Mack located in Auburn, NY. Audience feedback will include a short face-to-face session following each presentation, as well as written surveys collected from the audience after each presentation.
