"Which came first -- the music, lyrics or the fundraiser?"

That's a tough one! Theatre Building Chicago is devoted to support and development of new musical works. Fundraising is critical to their continued success since, unlike other organizations who shall remain nameless, they actually pay actors and writers and TBC never takes royalties from writers for workshopping and showcasing their new works.

Oh and here's a bonus -- the planned evening will include a selection from NAKED IN AMERICA -- THE MUSICAL (sans nudity).

From the TBC Web site:

Which came first? The music, lyrics or the fundraiser? Enjoy an evening of scenes and songs from new musical works by dozens of playwrights, lyricists and composers. Dress casually. Applaud generously. Bring a friend or two or three! Feel free to donate more than $25. After all, you’ll be wow’d by an evening of many new musical works. Food and drink are included.

All proceeds will go toward readings, workshops, and further development of new works by tomorrow's musical theatre writers.
