Thursday, February 26, 2015
7 – 9PM

Theater Resources Unlimited (TRU) presents the February panel, Balancing the Bookings: Producing Off-Broadway, a Theater Owner’s Perspective, on Thursday, February 26, 2015 at 7:30pm at The Players Theatre, 115 MacDougal Street, 3rd Floor Loft Theatre, NYC. Doors open at 7pm for networking and refreshments; the presentation starts at 7:30pm.

Panelists will include: Darren Lee Cole, artistic director of the Soho Playhouse; Edmund Gaynes, producer and theater owner (The Theatre at St. Lukes and The Actors Temple), principal Gaynes Theatrical Booking; John Lant, artistic director Write Act Rep, general manager Elektra Theatre and Times Square Arts Center.

Managing and booking product from the theater owner’s perspective: how a venue balances its own projects with productions they rent to, what they look for, and what sorts of deals are available. What are some of the successful tactics they use to keep their theaters going? What are the advantages of booking space with different venues? How has off-Broadway changed over the last ten years, and how have theaters adapted to the change? We’ll also explore current models of producing off-Broadway, including split week runs, and discuss what a venue expects of you (and what you should reasonably expect of a venue).

Admission is $12 (free for TRU members). Please RSVP at least a day in advance (or much sooner) for reservations: 212/714-7628; or e-mail TRUStaff1@gmail.com. Doors open at 7:00pm for networking and refreshments, roundtable introductions of everyone in the room will start at 7:30pm - come prepared with your best half-minute summary of who you are, and what you need.
