The first panel in January 2006, Careers in Theatre Management, will address job responsibilities including casting and financing productions, securing venues, marketing, public relations, and the general management of theatrical productions in corporate, independent and established theatres. The free panel will be moderated by Katherine Oliver, Commissioner of the Mayors Office of Film, Theatre and Broadcasting, and will include David Auster, Associate General Manager of 101 Productions, Steve Winton, CEO of Clear Channel Theatrical and Harold Wolpert, Managing Director of the Roundabout Theatre Company. It will take place on Saturday, January 21, 2006 from 11:00 am-12:00 pm at Theatre Row, 410 West 42 Street.
"I am delighted that the Mayor's Office has partnered with us to support and encourage young people to seek out careers in the theatre -- one of the city's most vital and economically important industries," said Arielle Tepper, Founder and Executive Producer of The Living Room for Artists / Summer Play Festival. "By bringing together some of the biggest players from Broadway and off-Broadway who can share their extraordinary experience, the panel series will not only demystify the process of producing theatre, but give useful, candid information that will support a new wave of artists and creative entrepreneurs."
