Relatives at the Thanksgiving dinner table, random fellow subway passengers, and even sometimes colleagues working on the same show as you? they?re all likely to pose this question at one point or another. While the answer is an admittedly elusive one that?s both fluid and ever-changing, this workshop aimed at current and aspiring producers will attempt to delve into some key facets of a producer?s role in ushering a new piece of theater from the page to the stage. Caitlin Clements will share from her own experiences involved with developing a new theatrical work, from the earliest of table reads to the out-of-town tryout. Topics covered will include theatrical festivals, readings and workshops, grassroots marketing, and the ever-daunting world of fundraising.
