ABOUT OUR PARTNER
100 years ago, the founder of this nationally recognized fast food chain started his company with $700 and a trailblazing idea. Today the family-owned business still sells the same humble food, and is committed to creating memories as much as meals.
PROJECT
ComedySportz was hired to produce an original musical celebrating the 100th anniversary of this nationally celebrated brand. We are looking to commission writers who can offer smart, quick paced wit to help create this monumental show. We are looking for thoroughly developed characters, fast paced and witty dialogue, mixed with a magical and fantastical undertone. We are looking for a writer who can write for a small, diverse ensemble.
We are seeking non-union early career writers who represent diverse voices.
