Living the Dream: An Afternoon with Mitchell Maxwell

What does it take to have a career in the arts today? Join the Youth Theatre and hear firsthand from the accomplished and award-winning Broadway producer Mitchell Maxwell.

On the intimate mainstage, Maxwell will discuss what it takes to build a career in the arts based on his own experiences as told in his just released novel Little Did I Know (Prospecta Press, October 2011), a coming-of-age tale about a young aspiring producer who dreams of creating glorious musicals in the tradition of summer stock. The book is more than a work of fiction, it is a roman á clef based on Mitchell’s real-life experience during his first summer after college when he learned what it would take to have a successful theatrical career.

At Youth Theatre Northwest, you will be one of the first to hear Maxwell read excerpts from Little Did I Know.  Following the event, a  book signing will occur in the lobby. This is an event that should not be missed!
