You run a small theater with ambitious programming. New plays, devised work, ensemble pieces, world premieres on a budget that demands every dollar work twice. The IMC Machine respects the constraint. The season record holds every production. The Creative Studio writes the press release in the artistic director’s voice. The donor narrative builds from the work. The press list belongs to the company.

01 A Day In The Room

Wednesday, 4:30 PM. An Artistic Director Three Weeks Before A World Premiere.

You are three weeks from opening on a new play by a first-time writer. The cast is in rehearsal. The marketing window starts Friday. You open the production record. The press release drafts from the play’s logline and the writer’s bio. The press list pulls the theater critics, the small-house listings editors, and the regional outlets that covered the last new play. By Friday the press packet ships and the writer has the marketing language to share.
