Community Gathering on Zoom - register with the bright red reservation box to receive the Zoom link. These gatherings are a service for the theater community and are offered free for TRU members; we ask that non-members help keep us running by making a donation or joining as a member.

In the room: Tom Polum, producer (The Toxic Avenger, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels), CEO and cofounder of StreamingMusicals.com (Estella Scrooge, Mooseltoe, Emma, Marry Harry). Tom talks about 1660Vine – a new musical. With an original script and score by a diverse group of 20-something songwriters (and choreography by Paula Abdul!), the show looks into the journey of life as a social media influencer. Learn about the new hybrid development path that launches live and virtual versions of a show consecutively.
