WoW's NoW is a new program dedicated to discovering, exploring, and celebrating new works of musical theatre by New York State-based writers with Tompkins County artists and audiences.
Our inaugural WoW's NoW festival will present staged readings of three musicals in development -- WoW will produce the audience favorite as a full production in 2023!
EXTENDED STAY by Jenny Stafford and Scotty Arnold
Emma, newly sober and newly employed at an extended stay hotel in rural Indiana, hits it off with Owen: a charming tenant who never seems to leave his room--but when Owen’s adventurous childhood friend Ethan shows up for a visit, it’s clear that these three have the potential to help or harm each other.

ONWARD AND UPWARD by Will Wegner and Charlie Romano
In 1982, Walter Griffin made headlines after tying a lawn chair to a cluster of weather balloons and flying 16,000 feet into the sky; nearly two decades later, his wife, Helen, and son, Mikey, have succeeded in keeping him tethered to the ground, but Walter will stop at nothing to see his dream of flight realized again.

SOMETHING BLUE by Gordon Leary and Julia Meinwald
Casey and Joelle want a simple, easy wedding, but when Casey’s ex-boyfriend Geoff shows up unannounced, all three must confront their expectations of love, marriage, and each other.
