Fun on a Friday: What a Producer does.
Almost two years ago, I took a poll of all my Producing Peers in the Broadway League and asked them to give me their definition on what the &!$%# a Producer did anyway.
Over 100 of them responded. You can read all their smart, funny, sad and inspiring answers here.
And when you're done, then you can just look at the graphic below which has been making its way around the internet these days.
It pretty much says it all.
Happy Friday everyone. Here's to hoping you pull a rabbit out of your producing hat this weekend.

YES! Thank you! I have been looking and looking for this!
That was fun. But I hate it when I accidentally read your blog early, before the email comes. Now what am I going to do at 5 0′clock?
What? No picture of a producer bleary eyed from no sleep, pulling his/her hair out and on the computer crunching numbers?
Thanks for sharing Ken. I enjoyed it. A lot of them sound like responsibilities I’ve had during my professional career.
I knew it! You really drive cats for a living!
