Opening Doors with Broadway Producer Greg Nobile

Tony-winner Greg Nobile has produced shows on Broadway like “A Gentleman’s Guide to Love and Murder ,” the revival of “Sideshow” and the current, site-specific “Sweeney Todd”  at the Barrow Street Theater. He has invested in musicals like “Dear Evan Hansen,”  “Fun Home”  and “Spongebob Squarepants .” He has produced multiple shows in the West End, including the Imelda Staunton-lead revival of “Gypsy,” and the film “India’s Daughter.”  He is the managing director of Legacy Theatre , a fledgling company on the shoreline of Connecticut, and runs Flying Horse Hospitality, a group that recently opened their first restaurant  and are already working on their second. Did I mention that Greg is 25 years old?

Intermissions : Too Long or Too Brief?

Many of the American classics from the last century are written in three acts with two intermissions.  When presented nowadays, however, they are often chopped into two acts with one intermission.  I am guilty of having so bastardized some plays (it’s not always structurally possible).

I spent a lot of my time behind the scenes because theatre makes me happy whether I’m front and center or backstage.  No matter what I always did my best to make my contribution to the show and the department was my best effort.

Three Innovative Ways to Make Broadway Shows More Affordable....That Broadway Will Never Do

Seeing a Broadway show can be expensive. This isn't exactly a mystery. With the costs of producing these shows, ticket prices surely are on the rise. Also, with the emergence of the third party buying/selling, it's not rare to see tickets for shows like Hamilton, Dear Even Hansen and Hello Dolly! reach close to $1,000 for two tickets. With mega-spectacle shows on the way like Frozen, this trend of raising ticket prices isn't going to end anytime soon.

Raising the Bar: A Reflection on a Broadway Masterclass with Krysta Rodriguez and Alexander Sage Oyen

Sometimes, we need it to be proven and reminded that our loftiest dreams and ambitions are more within our reach than we realize. I was able to be a witness to this fact while attending a Broadway masterclass held a couple of months ago here at Stockton University with Krysta Rodriguez and Alexander Sage Oyen. Having been reached out to by Stockton's assistant professor of theatre, David Reiser, both Rodriguez and Oyen shared their insight and experiences in their work within the professional world of theatre.
