about us...

our mission

To foster the highest quality of musical theatre writing,
and to advance the state of new musical theatre production.

 our history

ANMT’s roots go back 30 years to the teachings of our first mentor, Lehman Engel, a preeminent Broadway musical director. The Academy became a non-profit corporation in response to an ever-growing interest in the international musical theatre community.  Our community includes writers of new works, and the producers, directors, choreographers, actors, and singers who make those works come alive.  Our goals are to:

- Advance the future of musical theatre production by creating a large pool of writing, performing, and producing talent;

- Develop a comprehensive musical theatre curriculum;

- Cultivate an awareness of and enthusiasm for new works for young audiences; and

- Forge partnerships with local, national, and international theatre companies.

Our programs include opportunities for writers, lyricists, composers, actors, singers, directors, music directors, and everyone with a love for new musical theatre.
