Free Introduction to TRU's Producer Program

Wednesday, August 15, 2018
6 – 8:30PM

Theater Resources Unlimited (TRU) announces a Free Introduction to TRU’s Producer Program on Wednesday, August 22, 2018 from 6pm-8:30pm at Clinton Cameo Studios, 307 W. 43rd Street, NYC. Tickets are free but space is limited - only ten spots remain! RSVP at https://truonline.org/events/introduction-to-pdmp/.

On August 22, TRU will host a free meet-and-greet info session about their Producer Development and Mentorship Program (PDMP). Prospective applicants will have the opportunity to learn from and network with our Broadway producer instructors: Jana Robbins, who runs the Basic Class, and Jane Dubin & Rachel Weinstein who run the Master Class which is open to graduates of Basic Class, and a limited number of producers with a high level of experience. (Due to a scheduling conflict, Basic Class instructor Erin Craig will not be at the event.) Participants will also meet and hear from successful program graduates.

PDMP’s purpose is to give members the knowledge and resources to become commercial theater producers, non-profit theater producers and/or self-producing artists. (There may come a time in every theater artist’s life when you need to self-produce a show and create your own opportunities, and PDMP aims to provide the tools for that occasion.) Our program teaches necessary skills such as developing a business plan, raising money, marketing and putting together creative production teams. For more information, here is the link to the full program description, and application. (Note: a revised curriculum is still being formed.)

PDMP is the only theater production program to offer such in-depth instruction from accomplished Broadway producers at such an affordable price. TRU’s Basic Class meets one evening of each month for 10 months, and the cost last year was $295 ($29.50/class), though prices for next year are not set yet. There will be limited discount “scholarships” for college students and recent grads. The informational session on August 22nd is completely free. Reserve using the red ticketing box at https://truonline.org/events/introduction-to-pdmp/Master Class costs $425 for 9 sessions, and has a highly competitive submission process.
