Price: $160/Pre-Registration (Includes Box Lunch)

Direct from The Commercial Theater Institute (CTI) here is advance notice of a brand new CTI course for Friday September 24th – The Mating Game.

The idea is to expose producers to writers and vice versa by creating a day of presentations, one-on-one interaction and group presentations. We will meet at Theatre Row from 10am – 5pm, lunch and the ever-popular networking reception are included in the $160 fee.

Why should you take this seminar, if you are a producer? To improve your understanding of theatre writers’ needs and sensibilities; to refine your project-pitching skills, and to meet a slew of younger musical writers, learn about their projects and perhaps form some partnerships.

We only have room for 36 spots and about 1/3 of them are already spoken for. Please go to our website

and plan to join us.

Produced with the New York Musical Theatre Festival, the one day program brings together twelve creative teams with thirty-six early career producers to share ideas, explore common interests and learn the fundamentals for forming productive creative relationships. There will be lectures and panel discussions as well as a “mini-project” with producer-writer teams developing “creative pitch” presentations. The day concludes with a networking reception.

Limited to 36 producers/participants.

The Commercial Theater Institute (CTI) is the pre-eminent training ground for anyone who wishes to be a professional theater producer. I took their 3-day course and I can attest to the quality of their offerings. This is a great organization to know, and if you want to be a theatrical prooducer, it is vital to take the opportunities they present to learn and to network.

CTI - THE COMMERCIAL THEATER INSTITUTE - SPRING EVENTS

CTI, The Commercial Theater Institute,

www.commercialtheaterinstitute.com

is having two programs in the spring that are extraordinarily valuable for anyone interested in theater. I've attended (see the post below) the 3-Day Weekend event and I would strongly recommend it, not only for (current & potential future) producers, but for anyone (writers, directors, lawyers, investors, actors, and...well, anyone) interested in developing projects for the commercial theater. This is far and away the most accessible, interesting, informative, useful event about theater I've ever encountered.


Producing Reading, Workshops, and Showcases: A Practical Approach will have its spring session on March 6th, from 10am – 6pm, at Theatre Row.

Many new topics and speakers have been added since the December program.

The fee for the day is $140 in advance, $175 at the door.


The 28th Annual 3-Day Weekend Producing Conference (May 15th – 17th) is now accepting registrations. The early bird price is $335 by March 27th.

Registration forms for both events are on the CTI website.
