A progressive and inovative theatre company in St. Louis, New Line Theatre has but a call out for all entries of scenes, songs, ideas, etc for a new musical to open a season, Rush Limbaugh Saves the World! This is a great theatre company that always does really strong work. Lets vent our rage on Rush through art! I encourage everyone to participate! 

Funny Right? Here is the blurb from their website

New Line Theatre and The Washington Avenue Players Project seek submissions of smart, original, dynamic scenes and songs for a new musical theatre piece focusing on Rush Limbaugh as a snapshot or crystallization of this moment in American culture. The chosen pieces will be assembled into a full-length musical, tentatively called Rush Limbaugh Saves the World, to open New Line's 20th season in fall 2010 for a four-week run, as part of the 2010 St. Louis Political Theatre Festival.

Scenes and songs can be about Rush himself and his own life, about political discourse in America,  about the cultural impact of conservative talk radio, or any other related theme.

Pieces can be in any style, from any perspective, liberal, conservative, or neither, and we prefer songs and scenes that are active, that contain action or change, that take the audience on a journey of some kind. They can be serious or comic, straightforward or satiric. They can be entirely about Rush or they can use Rush as a point of entry into politics, pop culture, talk radio, etc. New Line is interested in provocative, insightful, thoughtful submissions, not simplistic attacks, and nothing that could be considered blatantly untrue or libelous will be chosen. No submission should be longer than 10-15 minutes at most. No previously published material will be accepted. Adult language and content are not a problem. The show will be modeled in part on concept musicals like Company, Assassins, Jacques Brel, The Cradle Will Rock, and Songs for a New World.
