Presented by MusiCoLab as part of 2025 Philly Theatre Week!
MusiCoLab, an emerging nonprofit that supports musical theater creators in our area, has presented over a hundred songs by dozens of Philly creators over the past six years in our Showcase Series. For our second annual Spotlight Series, experience thirty-minute excerpts of three exciting new musicals being developed by Philly creators:
- Electric & Benevolent - Jay Purdy’s zany riff on the life of inventor Nikola Tesla, with songs by indie rockers The Extraordinaires.
- Lawless - the scandalous story of Charles Dickens and his secret mistress, Nelly Ternan, as told by Charlie Gilbert.
- Elderland - Michael Biello and Dan Martin’s poignant portrait of a community of seniors who reclaim their inspiring lives by sharing their stories.
