So, you've decided to put on a show! Or perhaps your school or community group has decided to put on a show, and you're the one who has to pull it all together? Either way, these pages are designed for you. They offers some basic guidance, and point you towards books and other resources that can help you to make sense of this challenge.

Putting on a musical is not easy, but it can be a life altering event for everyone involved. The information offered here comes from my own experiences. I have directed at the elementary and high school level, and been involved as both performer and production staff with numerous colleges and community theatres. The content of these pages has also been inspired by hundreds of e-mail questions Musicals101 has received. If you have a question of your own, contact me.
