Great episode! I shared it with my theater entrepreneurship class. So many good tips, especially the bit about valuing your work! Thanks, William and Chris!
Hey Devra,
Thanks for your kind words! I’m glad you shared it with your class. 🙂
Please let us know if you have any topics you’d like us to cover.
You’re welcome Devra! Glad it has helped. – Chris
This is great. Really inspiring to hear that this type of thing can be successful and get tips on how. I’ve been doing shows in coffee shops and am in the process of breaking into longer shows in some new places.
Great! Finding places with low overhead (ideally free) will make a huge difference. And trying to find places that let you keep all ticket sales, or a good percentage of them too. – Chris
I’m glad you are enjoying the podcast Greg! Let us know if we can help in any other way. 🙂
