Music in Gotham, in collaboration with Song, Stage and Screen III, 
invites proposals for presentations on topics in American musical 
theater, to be held on April 2-5, 2008 at the City University of New 
York Graduate Center. We encourage abstracts of up to 250 words on 
19th-century musical theater, the musical from 1900 through World War 
1, and the musical from 1920 through the present. Proposals on other 
aspects of musical theater, including the issues of critical 
editions, revivals, and textual and musical problems are also 
welcome. Abstracts, with "Musical Theater" in the subject line, 
should be sent to <MusicinGotham at gc.cuny.edu> by August 30, 2007.

Song, Stage and Screen is the annual conference of the academic 
journal, Studies in Musical Theatre, which is published by Intellect 
Press. Previous Song, Stage and Screen conferences have been held at 
the University of Portsmouth, UK (2006) and University of Leeds, UK 
(2007). We are delighted to be bringing the 2008 conference to the 
USA, to be hosted in collaboration with Music in Gotham. It is 
expected that a selection of papers from this joint conference will 
be invited for submission to the journal and publication.
