This narrative study shares female Broadway producers' first-hand accounts of the challenges
they face in the industry. All participants have served either as a lead producer or co-producer on
Broadway in the past twenty years. Aspiring producers interested in learning more about
specifically producing in New York City or current producers wanting to include more diversity
and inclusion in their work would benefit from reading the findings. All genders will also gain
insight into female producers' perspectives. This research may also be helpful to other theatre
professionals in the areas of directing, acting, composing, and scenic design. People in other
industries, including film, T.V., and radio, may benefit from reading this study.
