Producers' Pool

Producers’ Pool is a network of creative producers training in, working in, or managing the theatre and creative sector. It has no office, no membership subscription, no board, or hierarchy.

Producers’ Pool brings producers together to answer two ongoing questions “What do you need?”; and “What can you offer?”. It is a space for the exchange of creative ideas and knowledge. Meetings are structured around particular issues, and people can begin to work on projects created through a connection made at a meeting.
