The Harbor New Musical Initiative

THE 2027 WINNING SELECTION

VOICE!

By Zach Adam & Eidan Lipper

Harbor Theatrics is thrilled to announce VOICE! as the winning selection of the Harbor New Musical Initiative. Join us July 9–11 & 16–18, 2027, for a developmental production of this new musical.

THE STORY

A young writer. Two worlds. One voice to claim.

In a struggling nineteenth-century fishing town, eighteen-year-old Gabi dreams of becoming a fairytale writer in a world that insists women remain silent. Disguised as “Gabriel Goldwing,” she enters a prestigious men-only writing contest and travels to Fairycon, where she catches the attention of her idol: the celebrated, fame-poisoned author Svans Christian Anderssen.

Meanwhile, her fairytale comes alive onstage. Princess Ariella defies an arranged marriage and enters Corifany, a village where a warlock has stolen every voice. As Gabi’s real life and imagined world begin to mirror one another, she must confront the truth about her mother, reject an offer that would erase her authorship, and decide whether being heard is worth risking everything.

Inspired by the mythic roots of The Little Mermaid, VOICE! turns a familiar sacrifice inside out: instead of surrendering her voice for a fairytale ending, a young woman learns to claim it—and write her own.
