About The Business of Broadway:
The Business of Broadway’s goal is to pull back the curtain and democratize the business knowledge that has so often been withheld and therefore perpetuated a hierarchical system with producers situated at the top. By empowering people with deeper insight into how the artistry and economics interplay, their aim is not only to lay the groundwork for more effective and nonhierarchical future collaborations, but also allow people to urgently challenge the ways in which the business has historically operated and consider how we can build a more equitable, inclusive industry model that serves everyone.
