Zoom meeting - reserve using the bright red ticketing window on this page, and we will send you the Zoom link!On March 3rd from 5:00pm to 6:30pm, we will be hosting a free meet-and-greet info session about our Producer Development and Mentorship Program, the only theater production program to offer in-depth instruction from accomplished producers at an affordable price. Prospective applicants will have the opportunity to learn from and network with our commercial producer instructors: Blair Russell, a Tony nominated producer whose experience ranges from fringe festivals to Broadway shows (Slave Play, Sweeney Todd off-Broadway) the returning instructor of the FOUNDATIONS CLASS; and Martin Platt and David Elliott of Perry Street Theatricals general management, producers (Tony winners for Vanya & Sonia & Masha & Spike, Dames at Sea revival, Bedlam's Hamlet/St. Joan, off-Broadway award winning In the Continuum and an oak tree; Lend Me a Tenor musical in London), who will be leading the 2023 Spring Master Class.
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.
For the upcoming term, both classes will meet virtually via Zoom, two nights every month for 8 to 10 classes. The cost for Foundations is $295. The cost for Master Class is $425 for 8 sessions, and has a highly competitive submission process. We offer discounts for college students and we also offer financial aid. The informational session on March 3rd is completely free. Reserve using the red ticketing box on this page.
