Coming up next on VoiceBox -- Stage Scribe: On composing songs for musical plays

The sign of a great musical play is humming a song you heard at the theatre three days previously. Join theatre composer Dave Malloy and VoiceBox host Chloe Veltman for a look at the nuts and bolts of writing a memorable show tune.

The show airs on Friday, August 30, from 10-11pm at 91.7 FM. Or listen in anytime this week via KALW's on demand online local music player. (Re-run: This show originally aired on April 8, 2011)

If you missed last week's show, it is available on demand via kalw's online music player throughout this week. Click here and scroll down to the VoiceBox link to access the latest broadcast. All previously-aired VoiceBox broadcasts can be found here.

Please take a look at our blog post about this original music video by a San Francisco classroom! The students used everyday objects and voice to creative effect.
