| Except you're still wrong MBG. Yes, the Roundabout is offering it to their subscribers as part of the subscription series (since they don't have a show of their own for that slot), but no they are NOT a producer (or co-producer). It's a straight out rental. The producers are the commercial team of Nelle Nugent, Hal Luftig, Steve Traxler, Kenneth Teaton, Benjamin Feldman, Doug Morris and Spencer Ross. | |

| Take it up with them. Here's what they released (bold theirs): "I’m thrilled to announce that in spring 2018 in Studio 54, Roundabout is co-producing Children of a Lesser God by Mark Medoff, which had an acclaimed run at the Berkshire Theatre Group this summer." | |

| There may be no reason to fight over this :-) Maybe Roundabout is considered a producer in the sense of providing the theater, perhaps at a reduced rate, and offering the show to its subscribers, but not in the sense of investing money in the production? "Producer" means different things to different people, especially these days. |

| If the Roundabout is buying a huge block of tickets for their subscribers as part of their subscription series, they are investing a significant amount of money in the production, just not upfront. It's not uncommon, when non-profit companies do this with commercial productions, for the non-profit to be listed as one of the producers of the production. The cost of the ticket buy, even if the commercial producers are getting the theatre at a reduced rate, is probably much less than actually producing a show of their own. I wonder if anyone has ever had the idea to put together a block of "subscribers" for a series of commercial Broadway productions in a season in this way. |

| If I understand how it's been working lately, if Roundabout is producing, they utilize volunteer ushers along with their paid ushers. If it's another producing entity, often they do not allow volunteers. I'm hoping they are a partner for this one. | |
