The Commercial Theater Institute is a project of Theatre Development Fund (TDF) and The Broadway League and is dedicated to training the next generation of commercial theatre producers. The spring conference's participants will include Broadway producers and insiders David Stone, Hal Luftig, Kristin Caskey, Larry Hirschhorn, Todd Haimes, Ted Chapin and Kevin McCollum.

CTI "offers practical information of interest to prospective producers, general managers and investors. Each session consists of presentations and panel discussions with experienced producers, general managers, entertainment attorneys, and managing directors who offer specific case histories that illustrate the various means of developing theatrical productions. This program is of special interest to anyone exploring relationships between the for-profit and not-for-profit sectors in the development of theatre."
