For women playwrights I would highly recommend: http://ICWP-L@Listserv.acsu.Buffalo.edu The International Centre for Women Playwrights (Please note: Men are most welcome on this list and there are a few actively posting) Their website is: http://www.internationalwomenplaywrights...

Anyone interested in any aspect of plays and playwriting should try: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/playsandpl...

For many different aspects of writing:

http://Writerswap@Yahoogroups.com

Also, if you are interested in composing, there is a wonderful listserve filled with everyone from experts to amateurs whose passion is musical theatre. To join, send a request to:

http://musicalmakers@yahoogroups.com

If you happen to possess talent as a composer rather than a bookwriter or lyricist, I have found one excellent site pertaining to songwriting:

http://www.musesmuse.com

But, what about those whose creative genius may lie in the field of performing? Where to start! Everything from audition information to classes to discussions on vocal technique can be found. Again, here are a few of the more favorable sites & groups:

http://www.studyweb.com/links/5030.html (Performing arts links of all kinds)

http://vocalist-temporary@yahoogroups.com (Although much of the discussions focus on classical music, this list contains a wise group of teachers, professional singers, students and those with their PHD. who can offer advice on vocal health and other important information valuable to all singers)

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/AUDITIONS

http://alltheatrearts.com (Dance, theatre and all performing arts)

http://www.actingconnection.com

http://execpc.com/~blankda/acting2.html

So there you have it: My take on the hottest sites, groups and listserves to connect you to others with the same interests in musical theatre. Also, don’t forget to check out my links section at this topic for even more resources. See what I mean…you are not alone!
