BoB is an educational initiative founded and operated by working commercial producers, dedicated to making industry knowledge transparent and accessible.

Our goal is to pull back the curtain and democratize business knowledge that has too often been withheld—creating unnecessary barriers to entry and collaboration.

By empowering you with facts and deeper insights into the interplay between artistry and economics, we aim not only to lay the groundwork for more effective collaboration—built on trust and transparent communication—but also to create space for shared knowledge, values, and experiences to challenge the status quo and reimagine a more intentional and inclusive way of doing business.

We hope you will take our classes if you are:

  • A working theatre practitioner in the U.S. or abroad

  • An early career theatremaker in the commercial or nonprofit sector

  • An artist

  • An aspiring producer or investor

  • An entertainment professional interested in understanding the theatre model

  • A student

  • An educator

  • Just a good ol’ theatre stan!

We created BoB to elevate, affirm, and empower you as we collectively shape the future of the theatre industry.
