Producing. Where does one start? What exactly does the job entail? What does 'good' producing look like? In this one-off 5-hour workshop presented as part of the Old Fitz Theatre's New Works Festival, we hope to demystify the work of producers and answer these very questions and more. Led by the remarkably impressive and highly experienced Leila Enright, this session is designed for emerging and established producers alike - be it a crash-course or a refresher.
