THE ACCIDENTAL PRODUCER

THE ACCIDENTAL PRODUCER

Found yourself organising a show that you didn’t mean to?
Or frustrated that no one else is producing your show and just want to do it yourself? You’re not alone.

Tim wrote The Accidental Producer because let’s be honest, there are few dedicated producers in the theatre industry. Most are actors, directors, writers, or anyone else, just trying to get their work on stage.

The Accidental Producer is a complete guide to making your show a success. From how to choose the right project and raise the money, to managing every stage of the production process and how to approach press, marketing and sales. As well as a dedicated section on producing at the Edinburgh Fringe.

Acknowledging that most people aren’t working in the West End or on Broadway, this is the essential handbook for producing at the smaller scale, whether you consider yourself a producer or not.

This book’s message is that anyone can produce a successful show once equipped with the advice of those that have gone before.
