1st Annual West Coast CTI Producing Conference
Posted February 4, 2010 | No Comments | Print This Post
For years, the Broadway community has run workshops called the Commercial Theater Institute to provide the basics in how to produce a commercial production. I’ve gone to both their 2-1/2 day workshops and their extended 11-week program, and the networking is phenomenal. Jed Bernstein, the longtime head of the League of Broadway Producers and a terrific marketing guy initially, now heads CTI and is planning a two-day workshop out here on Friday, February 26 – February 27.
Conact Carol Bixler here at the School of Theater for Possible Discounts.
