THEATRE MANAGEMENT SEMINAR: PRODUCING PA

Over the last twenty years, as both funding and new work development models in the not-for-profit theater have changed, various partnerships among theater-makers have sprung up to support the creation of new work. In the current post-pandemic climate, partnerships are more urgent and necessary for most productions and producers. Over the course of seven conversations, we will explore what makes a successful collaboration, as well as current models for collaboration/partnership (both “traditional” and “non traditional”) within the industry. We’ll explore the best practices for seeking, structuring, and maintaining healthy partnerships so that you can get a project from inception to production, with the “right people on the bus.” This topic will be explored through discussion of current practices, case studies, and interviews/discussions with producers who have recently partnered with others.
