SWEAT DEAL AT THE PRODUCERS CLUB!
The Producers Club "sweat equity" deal for night management personnel to house manage and lock up the theater in the evenings during the week and on the weekends. They have a program called Sweat Equity (similar to programs at other Off-Off-Broadway theater spaces) where a particular company can work volunteer hours at the Producers Club in return for $10 an hour in rehearsal/performance space. Many newer companies have taken advantage of this opportunity in the past as it is a good way to offset production costs as well as become familiar with the growing artistic community at the Producers Club. If you're interested, don't hesitate to get in touch: The Producers Club, 358 West 44th St., New York, NY 10036. Ph: 212/315-4743; www.producersclubtheaters.com.

SPACE GRANTS FROM THE PRODUCERS CLUB!
One night a week, The Producers Club will be donating free theater space to minimalist shows that can be put up simply and with a minumum of tech fuss. They are looking for theater groups that have shows that are ready to go up right away for a performance, but need a space to do it. Contact them THREE weeks before you would like your show to go up, they will consider all the submitted shows and select one, in part depending on the production needs and which PC Theater is available. This offer is only one show per week, no more. The show can be booked in any theater that is available during that week. In return, The Producers Club will take a small portion of your ticket sales. You will also get full use of their bar/reception area. There is no time limit with regard to how long they have this offer, but the offer does depend on space availability, of course. Inquiries to Ernest or Freddy at info@producersclubtheaters.com

JOIN THE BRAND NEW TRU PRODUCERS CIRCLE!
If you are a serious producer with interest in producing projects sent our way that need a producer, send us your name and brief credentials. Promising projects come out way frequently. In particular, TRU was the official matchmaker this year for the key NYC festivals. A lot of good work is being accepted into these festivals on contingency of their finding a capable producer, or (as the Fringe calls the position) Authorized Company Representative. This is generally not a money-raising position, but rather an opportunity for you to be the main liaison and coordinator for the festival production, and get yourself a credible producing credit. I compiled a list of capable producers for the festival submissions, and continue to be made aware of strong projects in need of New York exposure. Sign on, I will forward the show info and synopses to you to see if the piece is of interest. You take it from there. If you want to be on the list, email trunltd@aol.com with the subject header "TRU Producers Circle;" include your name and brief producing or business credentials, if any.

THIS GRANT OFFER OPPORTUNITY IS NOT RIGGED.
But for this $10,000 grant for theatrical rigging, your company must be in one of these 4 states: Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Wisconsin. For costs of a production flying or rigging effect, or a permanent installation for the improvement of a venue.
