New Musical Looking for Available Director, Producer or Theater
by Keith Behrendt 03 Dec '25

03 Dec '25

I am looking for local theaters to perform this show as well as directors or producers interested in adapting this musical. “WANATAK" is a fun light original musical comedy targeted to both mature and young audiences. Reading groups have provided positive feedback with several participants pointing out how well it dealt positively with brother / sister issues, strained relationships, illness and death in the family, and questioning dating relationships. In the story, Trisha and Kyle are camp counselors, taking two kids to a fun-filled week in summer camp; they inadvertently end up at Camp Wanatak where they face fun, suspicion, loss, enlightenment, and love of course. Wanatak features 11 original songs with 9 or more cast members. This musical play was written to be adaptable to a wide variety of venues including small stage, small room, or adjusted to a larger stage. I can provide a script and links to sample music upon request. Please contact me if you are interested. Keith Behrendt kdbehr(a)gmail.com
