Nautilus Music Theater

COMMUNITY COMMISSIONS: Projects initiated by or commissioned for specific communities, such as arts organizations, academic institutions, or human service organizations. Projects for FY24 included master classes with Boston Conservatory; workshop projects on PROGRESSIVE LENS, REMEMBER ME, and the MIXER MOSAIC; a collaboration session with the Opera Reading Project; and other short-term consultancies.

ROUGH CUTS: A series of public presentations of work-in-progress dialogues between artists and audiences, and explorations of the creative process, focused on new works and emerging artists. Having reinstated our Rough Cuts series in FY24, we presented eight regular Rough Cuts, along with two Art Crawl appearances.

PRODUCTIONS: Opportunities (sporadically) for artists to present fully-staged productions of music-theater works, including premieres of new work we have developed and supported, or innovative productions of existing operas and musicals. Although no fully-stage productions were held FY24, we held developmental sessions on BLUESTEM and A SONG AT TWILIGHT.
