Episode 6: Take A Left

Whether you have appeared onstage at Music Mountain Theatre, been an audience member, or a little of both, you have probably wondered: How is a musical actually written? In this episode of "Just Upstage of Downtown," host Patrick Lavery and MMT performer Jason Kohn reflect on when they met in high school, a friendship which resulted in the 2005 production "Life is a Musical," for which Kohn wrote the book based on an original idea and Lavery composed the music and lyrics. The history of bringing "LIAM" to life is also part of a more general discussion about the theatrical writing process.
