Overview
Welcome to a world of boundless creativity, the Lovewell Institute for the Creative Arts, where Kansas students are offered the extraordinary opportunity to brainstorm, design, compose, and produce an original work of musical theatre in just a week. The content of the show? That's in the hands of the group – a unique feature of Lovewell workshops that sets them apart from the ordinary.
The goal here is to assemble a diverse team of students, ranging from those entering high school to college freshmen. The purpose? To create a unified piece of theatre with music, a work that represents their collective stories.
