Theater Resources Unlimited Presents TRU PATHWAYS TO SUCCESS Summer Workshop Series, Now thru 8/11

Most theater professionals are not salaried employees. They are self-employed. Theater Resources Unlimited (TRU) has pinpointed some specific business skills needed by the artistically self-employed, and addresses them with a new series of workshops: The TRU PATHWAYS Summer Workshop Series for Producers and Artists, today, June 16th, Tuesday June 30th, Wednesday July 15th, Tuesday July 28th, and Tuesday August 8th at 7:15pm at The Playroom Theater, 151 West 46th Street, 8th Floor, New York, NY 10036.

Summer's a time for fun and relaxation, but don't let your career goals fall by the wayside. This series of 5 workshops will help get your artistic career in shape and set you on the path to success! Purposely scheduled for weekday nights to leave your weekends free for sun and fun. (Learning some basic secrets of success can also be fun!)

Tuesday 6/16
Business Fundamentals: Be the CEO of Your Career with certified Business Coach Debra Russell of Artists' Edge.
How many times have you thought to yourself: "I'm creative, I'm just no good at business!" Being creative and being good in business aren't mutually exclusive - you just have to learn business skills!

Tuesday 8/11
Networking Your Way to the "Right" People for Your Career with producer, manager and creative coach Joanne Zippel.
As a creative artist, it can often be hard to find and connect with the "right" people to move your career forward. Part of it may have to do with self-limiting beliefs like viewing "networking" as a difficult business of "selling yourself" and in some way not staying true to your authentic artistic vision, and part of it may be just a lack of know-how and a reluctance to step out of your comfort zone.
