| I was disappointed to see someone attacking an event that I participated in and a group that I find helpful. I'm a writer who has had his work presented numerous times. I attended and enjoyed TRU's pitch event. I believe it does many positive things, including forcing you to shape and polish your pitch. You then get feedback from various producers. I did not have anyone try to sell me, but had a good experience. I also learned by seeing others present projects. I think it's a long shot that a brief pitch will hook a producer - and always knew that. That'd be great, but not easy. But I do believe I got to present work to producers - of big and small work. Someone spent time, coaching me and others before we presented. And I had a chance to connect with and form the basis of a relationship that could lead to things later. I have found that TRU itself is a great resource, in general, at once letting me meet directors and others with whom I’ve worked since. I’ve listened to producers give their perspective, about my work and issues, ranging from those who did the original Broadway production of Grease to other Broadway shows, as well as smaller productions. I find that it’s important to be aware of people who produce smaller shows, since they're more likely to be interested and get involved with smaller projects. I have met people at TRU events who found producers there. And I hope that some relationships I formed at events may lead to other things even further down the line. I've also recommended the group to others and brought them to events - which they enjoyed. Plus I’ve gone to various events free to the group’s members. I look forward to TRU events. I think it’s a rare group and appreciate that it exists and the effort it takes to keep it going. I think it's very easy to be negative and critical of anything. It's tough to go to a pitch event and find a producer. But I found the experience was positive and well worth it and intend to continue going to TRU events. We need more groups like this, fostering a sense of community and putting people in touch. I'd rather give kudos than criticism to this group. My only reaction to this negative post is that I hope others who took part in the event and had a positive experience also express that as well, showing the value that it as well as other TRU events can have. | |
