Verses & Voices
Supported by a generous grant by the Live Music Society, 54 Below’s new program Verses and Voices aims to break down institutional and financial barriers for both artists and audiences. Select early-career composers and lyricists of cabaret and musical theatre will receive performance opportunities, an artist fee, mentorship, and professional development resources. 54 Below believes that this will bolster the cabaret and musical theater landscape by providing space for new voices, supporting the development of original music, and engaging diverse audiences.
At the same time, audiences may see any Verses and Voices show regardless of their financial circumstances. In this pay-what-you-wish ticketing model, audiences may elect to pay as much as they are able for tickets, and all food and beverage minimums are waived for all shows. No minimum. No judgment. Just great songs.
