BROADWAY INDUSTRY Q&A - Ages 12+
Ever wonder how a Broadway show ACTUALLY gets made? How does a show grows from the seed of an idea of a writer, producer or director aaaalll the way to an actualized production. We will talk through the creation of a show and breakdown the steps and hurdles along the way. Our conversation will see it from a brainstorm in an office- to developing workshops and getting investors. Watch it become a Broadway Show and what gatekeeping needs navigation. Then talk about how tours and replica productions come into existence. And finally, licensing and how it gets produced on the regional, community and educational level.
Ever wondered how some aspect of this business works? Feel like you are on the outside looking into the Broadway process? Do you feel like you need help understanding the different breeds of theatre niches? Want to talk about Broadway from an "insider" perspective? These are just some of the things we can dive into through a mix of guided instruction through real world examples with context that surfaces through real time “Q and A” interaction with students. Let's get those questions answered!
