THAT'S WHAT INSPIRED US TO BUILD THE PRODUCER'S PERSPECTIVE PRO
You're here because one of our current PRO members recommended our PROgram to you, so we owe your pal a huge high five for bringing you to us . . . and we're confident you'll owe them one too 🙂
The Producer's Perspective PRO is an online training program, resource guide and active community for theatre professionals looking to advance their productions and careers.
Through a combination of online training courses taught by Tony Award-winning Broadway Producer Ken Davenport, monthly Live Office Hours Calls with Ken, weekly tips, monthly industry newsletters, a private Facebook Group, and in person networking events, The Producer's Perspective PRO enables Writers, Producers, Actors, Directors, General Managers and other professionals to learn in the way that best suits their needs.
Members are able to log into our online portal anytime to take their available 16+ courses, access replays of past Office Hours, watch archival videos of all the panels and presentations from our Super Conference (2018 and 2017), browse through our Marketing Toolkit, search for monthly play submission opportunities, enter our quarterly PRO Reading Series competition, or even peruse our Writer, Actor and Director Databases for potential collaborators.
Monthly Mixers are held in New York City for members local to New York, or able to travel, while additional networking opportunities are available through a Private Facebook Group to keep "out of town" members connected and engaged. This Facebook Group is also an excellent resource for asking questions of the group and our team, learning about play submission opportunities, accessing special PRO member discounts, promoting your own work, and so much more.
If you're looking for answers to questions like "how do I produce a play," or "how to I find a Broadway producer," or even "how do I get my show to Broadway," then The Producer's Perspective PRO is for you!
We're on a Mission
To help 5000 shows get produced by 2025! And we want yours to be one of them!
Congrats to PRO member Ronald Kaehler on opening his show UNDER THE OVERTURE at The West End Theatre!
Congrats to PRO member Kit Yan on winning 5 Awards at NYMF (2018) including Outstanding Lyrics!
Congrats to PRO member Leo Schwartz on opening his musical Book of Merman Off Broadway!
REAL PEOPLE, REAL MEMBERS, REAL SUCCESS
-
The Producer's Perspective PRO community gave me the confidence I needed to determine that I could pursue theatre full time. In December, I notified my current employer that I would be leaving at the end of my contract in June. Not that I advocate everyone quit their jobs to pursue their passions, but if you can, you should!Ken's PRO program helped make this possible for me.
-
My favorite part of being a Pro is that I get to meet people who I might not ordinarily meet. We are all doing the same thing. We all have the same goal, we all have the same ambitions. Plus, the resources of the PRO website are amazing, you couldn’t take four years at NYU and get that much knowledge.
-
I decided to join PRO as an Associate Producer after I was introduced to Ken several months ago. I believe that he graciously opens the door to those of us who are not “insiders” in the NYC theatre community. Ken builds the bridge from our passion for theatre to the launching our theatre dreams on the New York stage.
-
Being a member of PRO has helped me get my script (which wasn't even finished when I started) into a festival at a premier regional theatre! The courses are worth every penny alone, but Summer's recommendations each month for play submission opportunities has been so helpful!
OURÂ TEAM'S PROMISE TO YOU
MEET THE PRODUCER BEHIND THE PRODUCER'S PERSPECTIVE PRO
Ken Davenport - Tony Award Winning Broadway Producer
Ken is a Tony Award-winning producer of Broadway and Off Broadway shows, including most recently Groundhog Day: The Musical, Deaf West’s Spring Awakening, and The Play That Goes Wrong, as well as the upcoming Broadway revival of Once On This Island and original musical Gettin’ the Band Back Together. Davenport has revolutionized the Broadway market with his diverse approaches at engaging audiences through his shows, as well as supported the Broadway ecosystem through a number of his own subsidiary businesses. He is an internationally recognized and award-winning writer of several Broadway and Off Broadway shows as well as several books about producing, Broadway investing, and how to raise money for shows. Additionally, he is the Executive Producer for North America for Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Really Useful Group.
In 2004, he formed Davenport Theatrical Enterprises and began producing his own shows. His “first born” was The Awesome 80s Prom, which ran for 10 years, followed quickly by the Outer Critics Circle Award-Winning Best Musical Altar Boyz, and My First Time, which has been seen in over 20 countries worldwide. He was the first producer to have three shows running simultaneously Off Broadway. All three shows recouped their investment.
He returned to Broadway soon after and since then has produced shows such as Once On This Island, Groundhog Day, The Play That Goes Wrong, Deaf West’s Spring Awakening, 13, Will Ferrell’s You’re Welcome America, Godspell, Kinky Boots, Macbeth, The Bridges of Madison County, Mothers and Sons, It’s Only A Play and The Visit.
