.Northwestern is known for its Gothic Revival architecture, but we’ll be in the brand new Wirtz Center for our DGI intensive. Today at 3pm, @masiasare will lead a session on “Making the Contemporary Musical" in Wirtz Blackbox #201.

“Ours is a grand tradition and a flawed tradition. Do we want to reproduce those conventions [of racism, misogyny, heteronormativity] or do we want to try new things?” - Northwestern professor @masiasare on Making the Contemporary Musical at the DGI Musical Theatre Intensive.

“I wanted three things in my life. I wanted to win a The Pulitzer Prizes. I wanted to hear a song of mine on the radio. I wanted to write a musical...What good are modest goals? You have to go for it.” -Marsha Norman at the DGI Musical Theatre Intensive Northwestern
