theCreator’sRoom
The Creator’s Room is a series of intimate conversations discussing the behind-the-scenes journey of artistic work. These discussions, open to learners of all ages, highlight the variety of pathways to success in the arts. Our panelists and audiences explore their rights as creatives, as well as how to sustain a career as a performer, creator, or administrator.
Each panel showcases up to 4 field experts providing detailed guidance on topics such as licensing, performing rights, music streaming, marketing, monetizing your talent, theater unions, artist memberships and more. Panelists will share their journey, provide useful resources, and answer any questions from the audience.

As part two of our exploration of audition techniques, we will explore the do’s and don’ts of creating a great self-taped audition. This session will feature a panel of theater professionals who will unpack the process and provide tips and examples to learn from. Attendees will be able to film self-tape examples on-site, put expert tips into action, and ask questions about auditioning in person vs. self-taping.
Behind every great script, short story and literary work is the imagination and dedication of the writer. Join us for a panel discussion to unpack the careers in the writer’s corner. Learn from a panel of playwrights, poets and authors as we discuss the business of words and the importance of the writer in the room.
