Tony Award-winning producer Ken Davenport (Once On This Island) has launched his new book Broadway Investing 101: How to Make Theater and Yes, Even Make Money, which is now available for pre-sale on Amazon.com.
The next Hamilton is out there. And this book will help you find it.
Once again, Ken Davenport is shining a light on the closed door club that is Broadway. In this new book, Davenport discusses how to break into the industry, what to know before making your first investment, and what to negotiate for.
"Broadway investing, while without a doubt a high-risk investment, can be a fun, fulfilling and yes, even a profitable experience. You just have to know the landscape, and that's exactly what you'll learn from this book," says Ken Davenport.

Despite the risks, it is possible to find and invest in shows that turn a profit if you understand the mechanics of Broadway investing and follow the simple strategies of screening your investments, which Mr. Davenport teaches in this book. These strategies are the same methods that Mr. Davenport uses to choose his own investments, and are why he's currently "beating the market" compared to the average success rates on Broadway, while supporting and advancing the art form he loves at the same time.
These strategies and more are outlined in Broadway Investing 101: How to Make Theater and Yes, Even Make Money, which is now available for pre-sale on Amazon.com or can be found at http://www.BroadwayInvesting101.com.
