The “Get Your Show Off The Ground” Seminar
Got a script? A score? An idea? I get a lot of emails from people with a lot of the same questions about shows that they are writing, shows that they are producing, shows that they are planning, and so on. Everyone wants to know what it takes to get their show off the ground!
I can totally relate - several of my shows were originally just thoughts in my head. I had to figure out how to get these thoughts out of my head, onto paper and then onto the stage.
Since I can't answer all of those emails as extensively as I'd like, I've decided to go off-line and hold a seminar to help you…
HERE'S WHAT PAST PARTICIPANTS HAVE TO SAY |
GET YOUR SHOW OFF THE GROUND!
Embark on a one day intensive and personalized seminar designed to help you get beyond whatever obstacle is preventing you from getting to the next level with your project. While every seminar is different with the curriculum established by the participants themselves, here is an example of topics discussed at past seminars:
- How to find funding and investors
- How to market with no money
- How to pick a performance space
- How to find a director, composer, etc.
- How to create a budget
Unlike most seminars, which involve a speaker like me just spouting out theories all afternoon, the Get Your Show Off The Ground seminar is an interactive seminar designed to give you the personalized attention that you need to help you move forward with your project. Here’s how it works:
Each attendee will get a minimum of 15 minutes of time to ask questions and discuss their project with me. You can ask me whatever you want, about whatever stage your project is in. Together we'll come up with ways to get you to the next step. You’ll leave with specific action items to move you and your project forward.
All of the seminar participants get the chance to listen
to this discussion, giving us all an opportunity to learn from everyone else's
issues.
The seminar becomes an exclusive think tank of the most passionate, creative producers, writers, etc. who are dedicated to their show and the process of what we do.
After it’s over, I guarantee that all attendees will be in a better place with their projects. And I mean it when I used the word "guarantee." Not happy? I'll give you your money back. No questions asked.
Please note that space in each seminar is strictly limited to ensure everyone gets the personal attention they deserve. There are only 8 spots available for each seminar and they go very quickly. So book your spot in the Get Your Show Off The Ground Seminar today. Your project deserves it.
See you at the seminar!

HERE'S WHAT PAST PARTICIPANTS HAVE TO SAY:
"KEN'S SEMINAR IS THE BEST SHOW INVESTMENT I'VE MADE IN 19 YEARS IN THE BUSINESS."
"Since taking Ken's seminar, I was able to raise the funds needed to open The Deep Throat Sex Scandal Off-Broadway. The show received 7 out of 9 positive press reviews and 33 out of 37 thumbs up blogger reviews on Goldstar. The show will be opening in Los Angeles in November and will have two celebrity names attached. Ken's marketing information was awesome and his secrets truly helped my show "Get Off the Ground." Ken's seminar is the best show investment I've made in 19 years in the business."
- David Bertolino
"THE SEMINAR PUT US ON TRACK TO CREATE OUR DREAM OF PRODUCING A SHOW."
"We were interested in consulting with someone who could help us strategize the best way to develop our 15-minute corporate act into a 90-minute show that would interest performing arts centers and theaters. Our concept was unique: latin ballroom dance set to classic rock music, with video elements to serve as lighting and scenic design. We read about Ken in Crain’s magazine, and were intrigued by his desire to challenge the status quo and find new ways of doing things, so we signed up for his Get Your Show Off the Ground seminar. Now, armed with Ken’s enthusiasm for our project, and his really bold strategy to attract booking agents, we find ourselves in preparation for a November 5th opening of “Ballroom Rocks” at The Strand Theater in Lakewood, NJ, with verbal commitments for other performances in PA, FL, CT, AZ, and NY. We will be implementing Ken’s social networking and marketing ideas to help us grow our audience, and have used his formula for developing a one-line descriptor of the show when talking to potential investors. For homework we read Ken’s nightly blogs, which are chock full of good ideas. We really feel that the seminar put us on track to create our dream of producing a show."
