Expanding Theatre Manager’s Repertoire

For years, Theatre Communication Group (TCG) has heard from artistic and management leaders and senior staff that there is an increasingly urgent need in the field for human resources training and professional development opportunities for managers and artists who manage personnel. In response to this need, TCG partnered with Target Corporation in 1998 to create this dynamic program.

Building on Target's own human resources training methods, which exemplify the best practices in the corporate sector, this training is specifically tailored for theatre managers. The
program was developed with considerable input from a diverse group of artistic and management leaders and senior managers, the program is revised each year in response to participants' evaluations.

For the tenth consecutive year, TCG and Target Corporation offered Expanding the Theatre Manager's Repertoire. The program was held August 57 in San Francisco. Participants spent three days in a highly interactive learning environment, with vital information and practical solutions adapted to work in the theatre. This year's topics included: Coaching and Developing, Managing Conflict, Influencing Others and Mastering the Change Curve.

Details on the 2008 program will be available in Spring 2008. Invitations will be sent to staff at TCG member theatres when registration materials are available.
