A must for emerging producers and anybody interested in learning what it takes to produce theatre. In this one-day workshop you’ll learn how to pitch, budget for, fundraise and market a show, from some of the country’s most successful theatre producers:

Guy Chapman runs Target Live, the leading arts marketing and PR agency, working with such clients as the Barbican, South Bank Centre, London Coliseum and Bill Kenwright. He teaches producing at Mountview, and Marketing for the Arts at Sorbonne University, Dubai. 

Iain Gillie was Chief Executive at Leicester Curve, and is Managing Director of PW Productions whose shows include An Inspector Calls and The Woman In Black. He has worked with the National Theatre, Thelma Holt, Ballet Boyz and Matthew Bourne.

Karl Sydow is the producer of the phenomenally successful stage musical Dirty Dancing. New York productions include the National Theatre’s Happy Days with Fiona Shaw, and The Seagull with Kristin Scott Thomas. Among many West End productions are Dance of Death with Ian McKellen and Sinatra: The Man and his Music at the Palladium.
