The Araca Project

The Araca Project Igniting the entrepreneurial spirit in the young theatre practitioner. www.aracaproject.com

The objective of The Araca Project is to foster the emerging artist’s entrepreneurial spirit. Selected artists will be offered an opportunity to produce their work in an Off-Broadway venue. The goal is to give artists a pride of ownership in their careers by providing a forum which both manifests their artistic visions as well as galvanizes classroom theory with real-world action. By founding The

Araca Project, The Araca Group joins Syracuse University and the University of Michigan in their commitment to early career development. Candidates for The Araca Project are graduates of the classes of 2002-2012. In June 2012, selected works will advance to a two-week Producing Intensive, where artists will participate in workshops in such areas as general management, publicity, press, marketing, and technical direction. The Producing Intensive will culminate during the fall of 2012, when the selected artists will produce their work at The American Theatre of Actors in New York City. Through The Araca Project, artists will take initiative and assume the responsibility of a producer, including: securing production rights from an author; casting; rehearsing; assembling design elements; raising capital; engaging a creative team; loading in and out a physical production; budgeting; marketing; and maintaining a box office/ticketing system. By giving artists the opportunity to take on the full artistic and fiscal responsibilities of producing their work Off-Broadway, The Araca Project will endeavor to embolden these artists to recognize the power of the entrepreneurial spirit in shaping one’s artistic destiny.

Araca Project Bootcamp 2017 is well underway! This year, along with workshops from professionals in the industry, we were able to take the producing teams to an invited dress at the New York City Center to see "Assassins"! Prior to the show NYCC gave us the lowdown on fundraising for a production. We left with a lot to chew on. Good thing we're right back at it tomorrow!

Lindsay Meck joined us today to talk about the Business of Producing and left us with some poetic parting words:

"Thanks Araca Project for having me
Explain what else to do with a theater degree
Breaking down Bway producing with a bunch of P's:

The Players
The Partners
The Process
The Production
The Pitfalls
The (Potential) Profit

Like Monopoly, it's a game/no two producers will play the same
But while it's named "show business," not "show art"
NYC audiences are savvy, smart
they'll call bullsh*t when plays don't come from the heart

So get out there and have some fun
As Kushner says, the "Great work" has begun"

Today the production teams got to check out their future home in the John Cullum Theater.
