We continue our conversation about story construction and what would make for a compelling plot for our musical theatre characters. Topics include privilege, 2-act/3-act story structure, and Min has a lot to say about the Child's Play horror film series.

Things are getting exciting! First, we delve deeper into the responsibility and rigor it takes to create diverse characters in musical theatre. Then, we begin to jump into story elements we think these characters could undergo.

This week, we dive deeper into the question of "Who are the people in our musical?" We begin to sketch in very rough detail some outlines of who these characters could be, as well as briefly discuss the question of representation in storytelling.

It's time to think through the inner workings of our musical's universe. What is this fictional world we are trying to create? What makes it tick and who are the people in it?

After our brainstorming session last week, we start to hone in on the central ideas upon which we can build our musical. Discussions include self-actualization, mundaneness, and a lot of talk about video games!

In this episode, we brainstorm ideas for a brand-new original musical!
