New Musical Laboratory in collaboration with Wharton Center

Presented by MSU College of Arts and Letters’ Department of Theatre and MSUFCU Institute for Arts & Creativity at Wharton Center.

A new musical by Joey Contreras
Guest directed by Rebecca Aparicio

In Pieces is an anthology musical weaving the romantic journeys of six people across three chapters of life, where sometimes the greatest love story is about the soulmates you don’t end up with. Featuring book, music, and lyrics by Joey Contreras (Fred Ebb Award finalist and Jonathan Larson Grant finalist), In Pieces has gained global popularity amassing more than two million streams, and a growing social media presence, while becoming a hit licensed property around the world with productions in Singapore, Australia, London, and throughout the US. The creative team is developing the musical and eying a commercial premiere.

This new musical is workshopped under the guidance of a Broadway-caliber director, dramaturgs, the creative team of the chosen musical, and the leadership of MSU’s College of Arts and Letters’ Department of Theatre and Wharton Center for Performing Arts. The program becomes a vivid learning experience for both college actors and backstage creatives.
