As part of the Summer Research Community, Dr. Charles Gran (Music) and Prof. David Charles Goyette (Theater) have been awarded an Interdisciplinary Research Community Grant. This summer, they will be mentoring students Shelley Washington (composer, Music) and Joshua Reinhardt (bookwriter, Theater/Creative Writing) in the creation of a new musical. The students were selected in a competitive process, and have been awarded $2,500 each in support of their work. The intensive 8-week program will result in a completed book (the play) and score ready for a performance at a later date.
