Theater Resources Unlimited To Host TRU Community Gathering Via Zoom The Perks And Pitfalls Of Producing Partnerships

A dependable haven for artists in isolation, Theater Resources Unlimited (TRU) is now in its fourth year of non-stop weekly Community Gatherings this Friday, having offered to date over 175 conversations and unlimited camaraderie since April 17, 2020.

TRU hosts their Community Gatherings every Friday at 5pm ET via Zoom, to explore the creation of art and theater in the time of COVID-19, and to ensure that these crucial conversations continue going forward as theater reopens. Ask questions, bring answers, be part of a community - it's an opportunity to network with theater professionals and talk about how we kept theater alive during shutdown, and what we are doing now, going forward.

To receive the Zoom invitation for future meetings, email TRUnltd@aol.com with "Zoom Me" in the subject header. These gatherings are free for TRU members, non-members are asked to make an optional tax-deductible donation - or consider joining TRU at truonline.org/membership to support the organization during these challenging times.

Sue and Larry will talk about how they met, and why they decided to partner as producers and create In Fine Company, their production company. What are the specific skills each brings to the table? What is the secret to getting along? Have they ever had any disagreements? Has compromise played a part in their success, or are they just lucky enough to see things the same way?
