Young Producers Day

Young Producers Day will highlight the work of early-career and experienced producers currently navigating the complex landscape of NYC theatre and performance. Sharing their own experiences with bringing innovative projects to audiences, our panelists will discuss the different ways in which independent theatre artists and ensembles can have their work presented across the city.

The day will consist of a collection of panels with theatre professionals who will address an array of issues--from finding spaces to negotiating contracts to fundraising and outreach.
