Description: The School of Performing Arts is thrilled to welcome back the writing team of Amanda D'Archangelis (music) and Sami Horneff (lyrics) to finish developing Act II of a brand-new musical with our students. Sami and Amanda met in the world-renowned BMI Lehman Engel Musical Theatre Workshop. Each year, the School of Performing Arts invites guest artists to campus with the end goal of developing a staged reading of a new musical to be presented at the conclusion of their workshop experience.
Original Work Being Developed: "PSYCH!" is a hilarious, '90s inspired musical retelling of the myth of Cupid and Psyche. When Aphrodite is banished to high school, her schemes to control love spiral into chaos, culminating in a Homecoming night where secrets spill, hearts open, and kindness finally wins. Smart, joyful, and full of pop-culture flair, "PSYCH!" Is a celebration of love in all its messy magical forms.
