Shoestring budgets & demographic diversity on Off-Off Broadway
The New York Innovative Theater Foundation is currently conducting a demographic survey of theater artists producing in the off-off Broadway (OOB) community. Since they need about 6000 responses, I wanted to pass this along and encourage people to participate! The survey should only take about 4 minutes to complete and you can find it here.
They ALSO just published a statistical analysis of OOB production budgets which presents some fascinating information (for example: the largest % of productions had budgets of below $5000!). I would recommend it as a must-read for anyone in or out of NYC who is considering self-producing in the OOB community (which is often where many independent artists & emerging companies start out). Survey results can be found here.
I would be interested to hear how their findings compare to markets outside New York. Any members outside NYC care to comment on that?
