 Show HistorySong-Poems Wanted! The Musical is the product of an extensive development process of the Theatre Building Chicago's Musical Theatre Workshop. Under the guidance of John Sparks, Allan Chambers and Joan Mazzonelli, the show had four public readings and a workshop production. Recently it was selected as one of two winners of the Neil Simon Festival's New Play Contest and will be presented in a public reading format, August 7, 2011 in Cedar City, Utah. Its first public reading at Theatre Building Chicago in February 2008 was directed by Josh Penzell and musical directed by Kathryn Tahiri. A second public reading was held at Chicago Dramatists in March 2008 with the same personnel involved. The authors self-produced a workshop version of the show at Theatre Building Chicago. The workshop proved to the authors and others close to the project that it had great commercial potential. It was selected to be a part of the Stages Festival at Theatre Building Chicago, where it was directed by John Sparks and musical directed by Jeff Bouthiette in August 2009. Currently, the authors are searching for a theatre company that sees the potential of this show and is willing to produce the World Premiere Production of this exciting new musical. Read what key people involved in the development of this show have to say about Song Poems Wanted!"Take a look at Song Poems Wanted! It's quirky, unique and well-crafted."
"Song Poems Wanted goes beyond covering all of the bases for a great musical comedy: surprises, a romance, ridiculous subplots, and a score that will take you from schlock rock and reggae to a traditionally pure 'Broadway' sound."
