Workshops, connections, and more: Develop your indie theatre toolkit in our Producer Lab.
So we made a show together. What next? Should we make a company? Should we tie the knot with a joint bank account? How do we work together in the long-term and make sure we still love doing it? Join mentor-in-residence Geoffrey Simon Brown of the Major Matt Mason Collective as he dives into these questions and more.
We’ll talk about carving out a niche, setting values (and sticking to them), and more to set your new company or collective up for success. With discussion facilitated by Common Ground staff and skill-building activity to get you thinking, don’t miss this chance to learn from this exciting indie leader with nearly two decades of experience!
All workshops have Offer-What-You-Will pricing available, plus an option to receive a $25 tax receipt with your registration.
WHEN: Sunday March 29, 10:30am-1:30pm
WHERE: Studio Theatre at the Fringe Theatre Arts Barns
