THE SHOW | THE PROCESS | AMTP

The American Music Theatre Project (AMTP) nourishes the vitality of American music theatre through the development and production of new musicals by music theatre’s leading artists; increased opportunities for education and training with Northwestern’s theatre, dance, and opera programs; and the creation of new intersections between the professional and academic arts communities.

AMTP is committed to the development and production of new musicals by leading professional artists. AMTP provides a rich, safe, and multidisciplinary environment for new works to thrive, and its collaboration with professional artists provides unparalleled opportunities for Northwestern’s students and faculty to be intimately involved in the creation of new work.  This commitment was part of the original vision of AMTP’s founders, Stuart Oken and Dominic Missimi, who conceived of the program as both a haven for professional creative teams looking for space, time and resources to develop adventurous new work, and as a vibrant arena for education and academic engagement.
