For almost four decades, CTI’s Three-Day Intensive has offered a comprehensive education in commercial theater producing.

At the 40th Annual Three-Day Intensive, presentations and panel discussions will be led by some of Broadway’s most acclaimed producers, general managers, entertainment attorneys, marketing executives, and press representatives. Whether you want to produce on or off-Broadway – or are just beginning to explore this exciting profession – this is the place to learn the ins and outs of the industry. Sessions will examine case histories, budget, sample agreements, and marketing strategies, all with an eye on illuminating the many aspects of an ever-evolving business.

At evening cocktail events, you’ll network with theater professionals and Broadway’s hit-makers as well as fellow early-career producers, allowing you to make the essential connections you’ll need moving forward.
