WHICH WAY TO GO? Producing Paths, Commercial and Not-for-Profit.
Friday, June 19, 2026 at 5:00pm ET

In the room: TRU Master Class instructor JANE DUBIN, producer (Is This a Room, Dana H., The Prom, Tony winning The Norman Conquests, Farinelli and the King, Bandstand, Peter and the Starcatcher and An American in Paris; plus off-Broadway Still, Absolute Brightness of Leonard Pelkey, The 39 Steps, Ann) and board co-chair of Houses on the Moon; and TRU Foundations instructor BLAIR RUSSELL, Tony-nominated producer whose experience ranges from fringe festivals (Edinburgh) to Broadway and Off-Broadway shows (Slave Play, Still and Sweeney Todd off-Broadway). Equally at home in both the commercial and not-for-profit worlds, Jane and Blair will share insights about the spectrum of possibilities when developing new works. That includes identifying the best environment for a show and coming up with a plan to get you there. Bring your questions about producing - this will be an open forum for Q&A.

I have always been amazed at how good the food is at Jack Doyle's, and how much they put out in that buffet! I lean towards the chicken and the salmon. Appetizers are pretty yummy, too!

And make sure to enter Tony Pool for a chance to win tickets to Two Strangers carry a cake... and Operation Mincemeat! And that's in addition to Titanique, Dog Day Afternoon, off-Broadway's Marilyn Exposed, Saw the musical and a tour of The Musuem of Broadway! If you're counting that makes 7 winners ... and you could be one of them!
