In the room: Larry Little of CPA Theatricals and producer of the Spotlight New Works Fest. Each year, educational and community theaters license hundreds of thousands of productions. Meet a creative producer who has developed 8 new works for those secondary markets, 7 of which have been licensed and published, and two of which have had over 100 productions. Larry's success inspired him to share his knowledge with others and he co-created the Spotlight New Works Fest along with the licensing house of Gitelman and Good to showcase new plays that are a strong fit for the secondary market. He has also become an advisor with Gitelman and Good. Come join us for a conversation about those often underestimated markets, and learn more about this new festival opportunity for playwrights.

  • LARRY LITTLE

    Larry Little (Lead Producer - CPA Theatricals) has a theatrical career that has spanned thirty-five years and more than 100 productions, first as an actor/singer/dancer, then as a director and producer.  Along the way he became a Certified Public Accountant, providing an additional range of skills.  Building on this rich background, Larry founded CPA Theatricals and LCG Entertainment, LLC, companies that provide musical theatre for under-served populations.  Over the last decade Larry produced eight new musicals, seven of which are licensed by major licensing houses, and all of which have been performed across the country and internationally.  In doing this Larry has served the commercial  market and the needs of middle-school, high-school, college performers as well as community theatre performers.  A special focus of these projects has been shows that provide opportunities for female performers, create strong and interesting female characters, and increase outlets for female writers and directors.   Recently Larry has expanded his focus and that of his companies into the development of short term projects such as festivals and short-run productions of new shows, finding yet another way of supporting and serving the needs of theater's secondary market.
