Abstract

This creative project compared two case studies in theatrical producing. Simply put, being a producer is being in charge of finding the material to produce (i.e. a play, musical, dance program etc.), making all arrangements to put that material on stage, and being financially responsible for the project from the beginning to end. Commercial theatre “operates without subsidy and is centered in New York City.¹” Other types of theatre that were a part of this project were non-profit, regional, community and educational theatre but will be referred to as non-profit theatre.
