About ShowLAB Theatre Writers Studio

Members get table reads, coffee hours, a weekly craft call named TWIST, and an archive of masterclasses given by theatre professionals.[1] The classroom covers development, writing and navigating the industry, and curated submission opportunities are posted every week.[1] A premium tier inside the studio adds weekly office hours and interactive masterclasses held live.[1] Writers who are close to a finished full production draft can apply from the studio to the 14-week ShowLAB Catalyst Cohort, which runs in a separate, closed group.[1]

Hampsch's website lists work as a conductor, music director, voice and theory teacher, educator, composer and lyricist, and playwright.[2] Hampsch describes experience across classical repertoire, new works and contemporary musicals.[3]
