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 buying a ticket, making a donation or joining as a member.

 

In the room: Matt Bader and Faith Pasch of the newly launched Manifestival Series, a curated showcase of plays and solo performances produced in tandem with the inaugural season of Matt and Faith's new company Diamond Mesh Inc.; John Chatterton and Jay Michaels of the returning Midtown International Theatre Festival, a favorite NYC showcase for new work that closed in 2017 but is coming back; Michael Scott-Price, artistic director of the Dream Up Festival. In the past months we have looked closely at the Edinburgh Fesitival Fringe. We now focus on developmental opportunities that are closer to home. Is the festival experience right for you? We'll talk about the intricacies of creating and running a festival, the reasons for being in a festival, managing expectations and getting the most out of this opportunity.
