TICKETS TO THIS ONLINE EVENT/ CHAT VIA LINK BELOW
Topic: Developing a financially sustainable career producing musicals, including approaches to financial risk & cashflow
Panellists: Ameena Hamid (Ameena Hamid Productions, Bonnie & Clyde), Julius Green (Bill Kenwright Limited, Blood Brothers), Angharad Lee (Leeway Productions, The Last Five Years), Blair Russell (Blair Russell Productions, For Tonight).
This discussion will offer insights from producers actively producing new musical theatre in the UK. Rarely does the pathway to production of any new UK musical follow an already well trodden path. This conversation responds to the fact that producers often have to negotiate right of way, and put the paving stones down, as they try to shape a viable path for a new musical to reach its potential audiences.
The topic responds to requests from MTN members, and comments from producers about sticking points. We invite you to join us as an industry peer, and this panel will present the opportunity to ask questions and contribute to the discussion. You might be an experienced or early-career producer, curious about moving into producing, or wanting insights into how producers think as someone who works with them – these conversations are for you.
Most books, courses and workshops on theatre producing will include some considerations of producing musical theatre, these conversations differ in exploring the challenges and opportunities that are specific to producing new musical theatre in the UK, one of the fastest evolving areas of the performing arts.
Tickets are free to MTN members, £5 to non-members.
