How do you know you've got a hit?
New TRU Boot Camp offers insights for producers & investors!
"RECOGNIZING COMMERCIAL POTENTIAL: IS THIS SHOW WORTH INVESTING IN?"
An essential workshop for producers and investors facilitated by attorney Eric Goldman and TRU executive director Bob Ost with commercial producers Van Dean of the Broadway Consortium (The Gershwins Porgy & Bess, Matilda, Cinderella), Jeremy Handelman (On the Town), Pat Blake (Bedlam Theatre's Hamlet/St. Joan, The Exonerated), Cheryl Wiesenfeld (The Heidi Chronicles, All the Way, Vanya & Sonia & Masha & Spike) and investor Neil Danoff (Something Rotten, The Audience). See http://www.truonline.org/InvestorLab15.htm for full bios.
It’s every producer’s job – to find investors for your production. Whether you are a self-producing artist looking for a lead producer to option your piece, a lead producer looking for co-producers and investors or a not-for-profit theater looking for enhancement funds, at some point you will have to sit down and make the case for why your show is the right investment.
In this invaluable and unprecedented program, TRU Board of Directors commercial producer members and other producers will share their own views on evaluating plays as investments. You will hear insider takes on how producers and investors evaluate plays, including methods for evaluating the structural integrity of the play itself, the production and creative teams, the financial plan for the initial commercial production, the possibility for downstream revenue and the potential competition. And you’ll hear some stories about pitches that were wildly successful and epic failures.
