In the summer of 2024, Long Island Musical Theatre Festival presented PARADE for our main stage production and offered a masterclass with Grammy Nominated singer, songwriter, and actor, Mykal Kilgore. Kilgore’s credits include MOTOWN THE MUSICAL, THE BOOK OF MORMON, and HAIR. Most recently, he appeared in Jason Robert Brown’s SONGS FOR A NEW WORLD, Stephen Sondheim’s INTO THE WOODS, and The MUNY’s SMOKEY JOE’S CAFE.
We spent our summer 2024 season honoring composter and lyricist of PARADE, Jason Robert Brown. Alongside PARADE, The Long Island Musical Theatre Festival presented A Jason Robert Brown Celebration Music Revue which featured Mykal Kilgore and our LIMTF students. Our Middle School Program also presented 13 JR. which features music and lyrics by Brown.
