At The Sappho Project, we provide the platform for women and TGNC musical theatre book writers, composers, and lyricists to share their work. We want our industry to more accurately reflect all perspectives, stories, and experiences. 

Our blog, Sappho Small Talk, is focused on expanding that mission. If you have a thought-piece or an idea for a piece that provides insights, inspiration, or critiques about making this mission a reality, we’d love to hear from you. 

• Highlight new work and the people doing that work in the musical theatre industry.

• Challenge the current system and highlight where it fails to serve BIPOC, women, and TGNC artists.

• Provide insights and ideas that encourage building a future musical theatre industry representative of all perspectives.
