Robyn Goodman released a statement to the press about this year’s event, stating (via Broadway.com):
"We remain committed to providing a home for talented writers to create new work, and give them a taste of the welcome retreat that Hammerstein found when he moved from New York to Bucks County in 1940,"
Alexander Fraser added on to the statement, saying (via Broadway.com):
"We continue to be inspired by Hammerstein's blending of dialogue and song in the seminal musicals he created. Almost a century later, they remain essential guideposts in the creation of modern musical theatre."
