The course curriculum will provide students with an insiders look at the day to day business workings of Broadway, Off Broadway, and National Touring Productions.

 

With a goal of educating and inspiring a new generation of theater professionals to learn more about the business side of a variety of theater productions, the course will give students an opportunity to review actual budgets, contracts, union negotiated collective bargaining agreements, marketing / development plans, and many other resources not available to the general public.

 

Detailed analysis of jobs, artistic and production roles and their functions within the theater industry will be the ground work for a deep dive into budgets and understanding mandatory union obligations, the use of accruals in long run productions and the necessity of contingencies in our ever changing work environment.
