‘Let’s go on with the show!” – The secrets of productions revealed
London based author Teddy Hayes eared his degree in mass communications from Cleveland State University and is a playwright, scriptwriter, film director, theatrical producer, and writer. His novels include the eight volume DEVIL BARNETT DETECTIVE SERIES, URBAN OUTCRIES, HOW TO WRITE A CHILDREN’S BOOK, MAJI MUKU FOREST TALES series, HER NAME WAS AMY TILLMAN, and now he shares his background and advice with THE GUERRILLA GUIDE TO BEING A THEATRICAL PRODUCER. He often writes, directs, produces, and composes music for his theatrical performances.
Explaining the title, Teddy states ‘The producer is in charge of all the elements of productions, “from soup to nuts” as the saying goes.’ In this book he addresses all issues of production: Pre-Production (script/rights, reading your play, budget, business investment structure, raising the money, legal contracts, insurance, hiring the director and main creatives, accounting, securing a company manager, rehearsal space, actors and equipment fees, contingencies), Production aka the execution stage (set design and building, casting, music, microphones, crew, rehearsals, housing actors, costumes, transportation, storage, sound cues, etc), Performance, and Post Production (what possibilities arise from that production such as festivals, upselling).
Each of these is addressed thoroughly – a very fine survey of all that is involved in a production – and in a manner that is easy to assimilate. This is a terrific guide for those entering the field of entertainment production, but it is also a fascinating encyclopedia of all the aspect that are involved in the final product we all enjoy when visiting the theater. Teddy’s experience and wisdom is generously shared in this accessible book Recommended.

Best known as the author of the Harlem-based Devil Barnett series of detective novels, Teddy Hayes is also a scriptwriter and film director.
Teddy Hayes is also author of this book, The Guerrilla Guide To Being A Theatrical Producer. A book to help theatre producers create their own theatre projects.
While I’ve only ever been involved in this field on a strictly amateur level at school I did find the title intriguing so wanted to give this a read. I found it to be an informative and helpful guide to theatre production. But I think not just on an amateur level but I’m sure there are more professional level tips in there too. The book contains great advice on raising funds, investment, financing, legal matters, contacts within the field and much more. Definitely recommended for anyo9ne with even a passing interest in this field.
