Producer Lab Café

Common Ground Arts is teaming up with our friends at Edmonton Fringe Theatre for our next edition of the Producer Lab!

On March 21 and 22, join us in the Café to meet one-on-one with any of three Edmonton producers we’ve invited to chat about the fun (and challenge) of indie theatre producing.

Bring in your show ideas, grant hopes and fears, ​“I don’t know who in this town does this thing” questions, process dreams – anything you want to bounce off a sounding board. We want to connect you to resources, networks, opportunities and more to demystify the indie theatre process.

Registration is open now to book a chat with three rad producers. We’ve listed a few things they’ve got some specialty in and you can check out their bios on our website for more:

• CG Managing Producer Mac Brock
  (Mac loves to talk about granting, marketing, contracting, budgeting, and more!)
• Tiny Bear Jaws Artistic Director Elena Belyea
  (Elena loves to talk about touring, pitching, granting, playwriting/​new work creation, and more!)
• Edmonton Fringe Theatre Artistic Director Murray Utas
  (Murray loves to talk about directing, community building and outreach, devising, festivals, and more!)

With each slot, get 30 minutes to chat about whatever topics relating to indie theatre (and beyond). Registration is free and first-come first-serve. Plus, your first coffee is free thanks to our hosts at the Fringe Grounds Café!
