Says Shusett:
“This is not New York. You can’t walk out your door and run into half the people you know. In LA we have a much harder time creating a musical theater community. These Musi-Cal evenings offer an opportunity for local talented writers to get to know one another and for audiences to get a first peek at new musical works in progress.”
