American Music Theatre Project
The American Music Theatre Project (AMTP) was introduced in May 2005 by Northwestern University’s School of Communication, in collaboration with the School of Music, Kellogg School of Management, Weinberg College of Arts and Sciences, and the Graduate School. The project brings together the nation’s leading artists in music theatre to work in collaboration with NU’s faculty and students.
The AMTP advisory committee includes award-winning lyricist/composer and Northwestern alumnus Sheldon Harnick, Tony Award-winning directors and Northwestern Professors Frank Galati and Mary Zimmerman, Goodman Theatre Artistic Director Robert Falls, author and former Chicago Tribune chief critic Richard Christiansen, and award-winning writer/director and Steppenwolf Theatre ensemble member Tina Landau.

“If the American people don’t love me, their descendants will.”
—Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)
“In benevolent natures the impulse to pity is so sudden, that like instruments of music which obey the touch ... you would think the will was scarce concerned, and that the mind was altogether passive in the sympathy which her own goodness has excited. The truth is,—the soul is [so] ... wholly engrossed by the object of pity, that she does not ... take leisure to examine the principles upon which she acts.”
—Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)
“A good drama critic is one who perceives what is happening in the theatre of his time. A great drama critic also perceives what is not happening.”
—Kenneth Tynan (1927–1980)
“I wish to come to know you get to know you all
Let your belief in me and me in you stand tall
Just like a project of which no one tells
Or do ya still think that I’m somebody else?”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
