2008 CTI-O'NEILL Summer Workshop

A four day, hands-on intensive program, in which pairs of participants will develop business plans for each of the plays and musicals selected for the O'Neill Summer Conference. The experience will be a mixture of lectures, one-on-one sessions, interaction with writers and directors, and group discussion. The curriculum and setting provide a unique opportunity to interact with artists and understand the process of creative development. The program will be led by Tom Viertel, O'Neill Board Chair and Broadway Producer, and Jed Bernstein, CTI Program Director and Broadway Producer, along with an all-star faculty from the New York theatre community.

The 2008 session will be held from Thursday July 17th to Sunday July 20th, on the beautiful O'Neill Theater Center Campus in Waterford, CT, overlooking the Long Island Sound. Tuition, which includes all meals is $800. Participants need to arrange housing at their own expense. We have, however, arranged discounted rates and a shuttle service at two area hotels.
