CTI Extends Program Application Deadline to 12/7

The Commercial Theater Institute (CTI), now in its 27th year, has extended the application deadline for the 14 week CTI program to Friday, December 7, 2007.  The Annual Intensive 14-Week Program presents hard, factual information on all aspects of commercial theatre producing including Broadway, off-Broadway and the Road, in a very intimate lecture/discussion setting.  Strictly limited to 25 participants, the program begins on January 21, 2008, for 14 consecutive Monday night sessions, in the Times Square area.

Supported by both the League of American Theatres and Producers and Theatre Development Fund (TDF), CTI illuminates creative producing techniques that will lead to financially and artistically successful productions.

Anyone who is interested in a commercial producing career is invited to participate in this advanced level course. Candidates may be nominated by members of the League, members of the off-Broadway League, ATPAM, artistic or management heads of non-profit institutional theatres, an entertainment attorney, or a past CTI 14 Week Program participant. All nomination forms and applicant information forms must be received no later than November 30th, 2007.  They are available at www.CommercialTheaterInstitute.com

Candidates will be evaluated by Victoria Bailey, Executive Director of Theatre Development Fund (TDF); Charlotte St. Martin, Executive Director of the League of American Theatres and Producers; Ed Sandler, Membership Director of the League of American Theatres and Producers; and Jed Bernstein, Program Director for CTI.  Notifications will be made on or about December 20, 2007. The fee for the 2008 program is $800.
