The Palo Alto, CA, company hosts the annual retreat, Jan. 13-20, which will feature the development of four new musicals. TheatreWorks provides the collaborating teams of composers and playwrights "the opportunity to develop New Works, uninterrupted by the hassles and distractions of their daily lives," as a release states. "The company will supply performers and accompanists so that composers can try out new arrangements, and a musical director to help guide the creative process." The week will conclude with a by-invitation-only presentation with selections from each work. The participants of the retreat include: # An Infinite Ache Music, lyrics and book by Brendan Milburn and Valerie Vigoda.
