THE NAUTILUS MUSIC-THEATER
COMPOSER-LIBRETTIST STUDIO

The Composer-Librettist Studio actually pre-dates Nautilus. It was an outgrowth of an experimental Performer-Librettist Project held at the Bay Area Playwrights Festival in 1983 (catalogued elsewhere on this site). It was initiated by Ben Krywosz and Ann Baltz in 1984 at the invitation of New Dramatists in New York City. Since then, 66 studios have been conducted around the country, sponsored by different organizations and involving various music directors, stage mangers, and assistants; the pandemic put the program on hold, but we are re-instating it in the spring of 2023, in St Paul MN and Washington DC. The program has evolved over the years, but the main structure has stayed remarkable consistent. To date, we have worked with over 325 writers, 325 composers, and 340 performers. These names were drawn from our archives; as always, please contact us with questions, comments, suggestions, or changes.
