Abstract
Angel’s Playhouse is an original musical that celebrates the heart, humor, and healing power of community theatre. The theatre is on the brink of collapse as we follow Lauren, a determined artistic director, and Jayden, a musical theatre writer, as they attempt to stage his deeply personal new musical with the help of Ms. Bea, a former Broadway diva with secrets of her own. As artistic and personal tensions rise, the characters must confront shame, legacy, and the bravery required to share your voice. Developed through the Berklee NYC Master’s program with ongoing dramaturgical feedback, Angel’s Playhouse explores queer identity, intergenerational mentorship, and the transformative power of making art in the face of adversity.
