Barn on Fire Residency — 2026 (5th Anniversary Season) Musical Writer’s Residency Presentation
Now in its fifth year, the Barn on Fire Residency returns to Fire Island Pines as a signature summer incubator for new musical theatre. Presented by FIPAP in partnership with New York Theatre Barn, this 10-day intensive retreat supports emerging writing teams as they develop original musicals in a focused, collaborative, and creatively energizing environment.
Centered on process over production, the residency offers artists dedicated time, mentorship, and space to deepen their work while immersed in a uniquely inspiring coastal setting. The program culminates in an informal presentation, offering a first look at works in progress for a live audience.
