**PLEASE NOTE: if you are applying as a Musical Theater Fellow and you write both music and lyrics, you may apply alone as a “self-contained” writer. Members of collaborative teams must apply together. Unfortunately, we cannot accept people who write only lyrics or only music without a writing partner, as we cannot pair collaborators. The cover letter and materials submitted should make it clear whether you and your collaborator are applying as a team or whether you write both music and lyrics.
