From NYMF '04 Audience-Award-Winning Writer Timothy Huang comes a new one-act musical about creativity and resilience in the face of tragic events.

A writer arrives in his white-walled, sixth floor walk-up in New York, ready to tenaciously take on the city and get his novel published. Recounting his various misadventures in a series of letters to his love back home, he is forced to deal with the people he left behind before he can move forward.

In a musical that is at once funny, and poignant, exhilarating and tragic, The View From Here received its World Premiere at the 2nd Annual New York Musical Theatre Festival in September 2005.
