Signature Theatre/Yale Composer Partnership

This month, Chani will be diving into a workshop with Yale University and Signature Theatre!

The Signature Theatre/Yale Composer Partnership is a new and unique program for young musical theatre writers. Each year, the new program will award one senior from Yale University’s Shen Curriculum for Musical Theater a 3-week workshop to develop their own musical upon graduation together with a Shen Artist Internship for the Signature Theatre season. As a Shen Artist the award recipient will work alongside Signature’s artistic team in the preparation for a world premiere production on Signature’s mainstage season. In addition, one recent graduate (within the past five years) of Yale University and a participant in the Shen Curriculum for Musical Theater will be awarded a 2-week workshop of a musical they are currently writing. The workshops will take place from July 22- August 25, 2019 at Signature Theatre. The new program is made possible through the Ted & Mary Jo Shen Charitable Gift Fund of The Shen Family Foundation.

She will be playing Nell Watkins in the new musical Devotion, by Mark Sonnenblick, with direction by Maggie Burrows.
