5WPR 10.29.15 3 Articles # 3 In an intriguing change per the norm of Broadway PR, executives from the New York theater press agency O&M Co., headed by Rick Miramontez, will come together with DKC Public Relations to Launch DKC/O&M. This new agreement is a significant push into the Broadway scene for DKC and its entertainment department, led by Joe Quenqua, who joined DKC in 2013 after a lengthy vocation as a Disney publicist. Since DKC offices are in L.A., San Francisco, Chicago, Miami and Washington, D.C., DKC/O&M is now listing itself as the first ever PR agency for Broadway and other live events. “Broadway is such an important component for DKC, in terms what they want to do and where they want to go (sic). It sold me on it immediately,” …show more content…
Andy Snyder, the creative director of the company, partnered with the VP of the company’s theatrical division, Molly Barnett, in joining Miramontez at DKC/O&M. O&M Co. and Miramontez first garnered the industry’s collective attention when the firm signed up with “Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark,” where it successfully represented the relatively infamous production with a flapless sense of humor. Miramontez has a penchant for showmanship, which befits the path he’s paved to Broadway PR, a feat that’s earned him a full profile in the New York Times. “Culturally speaking, Rick is the perfect addition as he is a creative visionary who takes an extraordinarily hands-on approach to his clients,” said Sean Cassidy, the DKC president. “From a business perspective, I see significant growth potential for DKC. This includes the development of sponsorship opportunities and synergies among our corporate, media and technology clients, and an ability to scale the core O&M business to new markets across the …show more content…

Like many other small theatre groups, CGT has never reach its full potential in community and audience development compare to the larger and more recognizable San Diego theatre companies. As the Executive Artistic Director, one of my short-term goals is to use the knowledge gained in the Organization Change and Leadership program to elevate Common Ground Theatre in the San Diego theatre arts community in order for it to be a nationally
As an actress and stagehand for the New York Civic Theatre, I am committed to a career in the entertainment business. Over the past twelve years, I have worked on every aspect of set design and production, mastering the endless technical challenges that live theatre presents. Consequently, I am equally comfortable constructing sets, sewing costumes, stringing lights and running lines with famous actors. Even after all these years, I have not lost my passion for the business. I still get goose bumps on opening night when I watch the combined energy of the production company come together for the first time in front of a live audience.
The theatre framework compares service delivery to a theatre performance by associating the way a theatrical performance is made up to impress members of the audience (26). This framework requires
Anthony Bollotta is the president of Bollotta Entertainment and a partner of TEAMNet. What his company produces is business theatre.

Several companies that he mentioned in class were Petco, SEKO, PCMA, Event Solutions idea factory, Qualcomm, and NAHREP. His major was musical theatre in Syracuse University.
Upon compiling and analyzing employee data including, demographics, salaries, education, and years of service several trends have been identified. These trends can be used by the company both to improve in areas that they are struggling and to show areas that they are excelling in. The most apparent trend found was the lack of diversity in terms of gender, level of education, and race. Based on the data it is clear that the majority of the employees are white, males, with a high school education. Being that the company strives for diversity, in the future they should move towards hiring more females and more minorities (in terms of race).
Leveraging Diversity: PepsiCo University of the People April 23, 2023 Dr. Denisia Dunmore, Instructor PepsiCo is a multinational food and beverage corporation with operations in more than 200 nations. With a diverse customer base and a staff of more than 300,000 workers, the firm understands the value of fostering inclusion and diversity in its business operations. PepsiCo has adopted a number of initiatives and programs to increase diversity in its workforce, marketplace, and community involvement activities (Casserly, 2011). In this paper, I'll show how PepsiCo has used diversity to build a welcoming workplace environment that caters to the demands and tastes of its consumers while encouraging the advancement of underrepresented groups.
Broadway World Questions Answered 1. I first became interested when I was hired by Morgans Hotel Group to work at The Mondrian in Soho. I started to tend bar to help support my music career, however the bars weren’t at the level of The Mondrian. On my first day, Anne Louise Marques, a great bartender, and now ambassador for Grand Mariner, trained me. After watching her for one shift I knew this wasn’t something I could just pretend to do - and do well.
Introduction: In this week’s, I reviewed some content from the list of the best firms for multicultural women to discover how a company leverages diversity in the workplace. I chose the company which I will discuss in this assignment known as “General Mills”. General Mills: Green Mills has been tried and tested products in most individuals' homes, mainly Counting Chocula, Oven Strudel, Cereals, and Trumpets. I raised my family also on a similar reliable range of Kix, Go Gort, and Chex Blend.
Today, Internet connectivity provides added convenience for film producers, with many now able to work from home offices. Over the last half decade, the technology has also made it easier to collaborate with third-parties. Historically, film producers have completed their work away from the set and rarely made appearances to staff members. Now, the convenience of the web makes maintaining a presence with staff members even more of a
I think that Broadway is very hyped up and all the theatre kids I knew in high school all made Broadway seem like Olympus. Broadway is supposed to be the top of the top, if a theatre major wants to make it to the top, they want to be on Broadway. Playwrights want their work to be performed in New York, and it is really hard to get their show on Broadway. People realize that a performance has to go through a lot of levels to get onto a stage in New York. Critics and cooperation heads had to approve whatever play goes up in flashing lights before the public can see it, so the play cannot be that bad.
In fact, gender equality should never have been a problem, let alone in our day in age. It is important for businesses and large corporations to understand these problems says Reaves in Sports illustrated article “I think corporations are more broadly understanding that diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging are business imperatives and it's very important when 50% of the world identifies as female” (Reaves). It is crucial for businesses and companies to value these problems and do their best to counteract them. It is vital for heads and CEOs to realize that people and their audiences or customers care about these problems and it can affect sales and interaction.
Women currently hold 23 (four point six percent) of the CEO positions at the top 500 companies in the world (Women CEOs of the S&P 500, 2015, April 3, New York: Catalyst). This thesis asks the question why women are infrequently found at the occupational top. The underrepresentation of women at the occupational top might explain why there are fewer women in organizations where men dominate the top. Due to the majority of men being involved in leadership positions (Brown & Watson, 2010; Ceci, Ginther, Kahn & Williams, 2014) women might not have a person to identify with at the top (Kirchler, 1992). The scope of this issue may be part of a larger issue where a culture of sustained gender-inequality persists (Ceci, Ginther, Kahn & Williams, 2014).
No bones about it: calling a show is a satisfying and adrenaline filled experience. It’s a humongous challenge, and I love rising to it. Most people don’t know what a stage manager is, but if you’ve ever been to the theatre I bet you have felt our presence. As a stage manager, I am the liaison between the front of house, the actors, and the technical crew. I say: lights up, stand by, break a leg, open house, and take five.
Furthermore, the “glass ceiling” has hindered women’s access to leadership positions in private companies. This is especially notable in the largest corporations, which remain male dominated. Of the 500 largest corporations in the US, only 23 have a female chief executive officer. That is just 4.6%. (Van der Gaag, N., 2014).
