Mission Statement

The Human Race’s Musical Theatre Workshops program is designed to develop original musicals, to provide an avenue for that very important “second production” and to encourage appreciation of rarely produced musicals. Through a series of staged concerts, The Human Race not only contributes to the art form, but builds an audience for the new musical.
