A producer relies on a general manager and a company manager to get the show open, keep it running, follow through on production and finance, oversee employees and artists, and work with investors. Participants assume the roles of general and company managers and oversee a Broadway show from pre-production to the follow-up after closing. Union rules, contract negotiations, budgeting, scheduling, time management, subsidiary rights, box office supervision, theater deals, marketing and promotion, job descriptions, pricing, investment reporting and accounting practices, legal issues, merchandising, and management styles are addressed. The class goes backstage on Broadway to meet with working managers.
