On this episode of
STAGE GROK, I talk with composer, lyricist, and music director
Georgia Stitt, about musical theatre and copyright in this new age of bootlegs, smart phones, YouTube, and other social media platforms. Georgia is the chair of the
Copyright Advocacy Committee of the
Dramatists Guild. She's also the founder of
Maestra Music Inc, a support and advocacy organization for "female-identifying, non-binary, and gender non-conforming composers, music directors, orchestrators, arrangers, copyists, rehearsal pianists and other musicians who are an underrepresented minority in musical theater."
Check out the Stage Grok interview with Georgia's husband, composer-lyricist
Jason Robert Brown.
