Overview

This hands-on workshop walks you through the real steps of turning a creative idea into an actual, producible show. We’ll cover how to build a budget that won’t betray you, how to cast and build a team that actually shows up, and how to structure your timeline so opening night doesn’t feel like a miracle.

We’ll also dig into the behind-the-scenes systems that keep everything afloat: contracts, communication, and making sure people get paid (including you).

You’ll leave with a working framework for your own project and a clearer understanding of what producing actually requires.
