First Drafts: Student Edition
August 18, 2026
Following its inception in 2025, the Showpeople Theatre Collective returns to New York City with the second iteration of the First Drafts cabaret series, an evening of the freshest songs by up-and-coming musical theatre songwriters. This time, the focus is truly on the theatre makers of tomorrow as the show solely features the work of high school and college students from New York City and beyond! Produced and directed by Showpeople Resident Artist Colby Thompson, First Drafts: Student Edition gives songwriters a chance to hear their songs performed in an acclaimed cabaret, and it gives audiences the chance to hear musical theatre hits long before they reach the stage. Don’t miss out on the chance to say you heard them when!
