The Watershed Festival is an annual festival each May that celebrates music theatre—opera, musical theatre, and everything in between. The goals of the Festival were not only to begin the process of engaging DAN School students in all aspects of development of new music theatre but also to facilitate dialogue and create a “hub” for creators, performers, administrators, and scholars at all levels of the field. We also plan to position the Festival at the vanguard of the discussion of diversity, equity, and inclusion within the music theatre community. Watershed was divided into three main categories: Create (performances), Explore (symposium), and Inspire (educational outreach).
