The Year That Never Was is a course taught by composer/librettists Michael R. Jackson and Rachel J. Peters that invites students of all levels and abilities into the earliest stages of the creation of a new musical theater piece written in the style of television musical variety shows and holiday specials of the 1970s and 80s. As Jackson and Peters resume a collaboration they began as graduate students, students will assist in thinking through the development of their piece by studying & discussing relevant source materials, working collaboratively to create material for their own variety shows that celebrate an obscure or invented holiday.
