“APAC continues its very energetic and eclectic season.” -Queens Courier

September 28-30, 2007

Building on APAC’s commitment to cultivating new theatrical talent, submissions of various composers’ “as-yet-to-be-produced” works of musical theatre were accepted. After considering a diverse and impressive collection of entries, APAC Artistic Director Brian Swasey and Musical Director Jeffrey Campos created a showcase featuring the music of 20 up-and-coming composers.
