How We're Harnessing the Power of AI for Theater
If you think artificial intelligence is just for Silicon Valley, think again.
It’s already taking a starring role in theater — not replacing artists, but improving their efficiency in ways we couldn’t have imagined even five years ago.
Here are three game-changing ways we are planning to leverage AI for our community of theater makers:
1. AI as Your Dramaturg on Demand
While nothing can replace the value of a live dramaturg, sometimes you need quick advice. We are developing an AI tool for our members that is lighting fast at reading and synthesizing scripts, pulling out insights, and providing expert analysis based on a robust knowledge base. It’s not about letting the computer “write the show,” but about rapidly iterating and stress-testing ideas at lightning speed.
2. AI as Your Producer on Demand
We are training our AI tool to leverage our course content, training archive and other proprietary and publicly available industry information to make our educational training instantly accessible, interactive and actionable. You'll be able to ask the AI question about producing, fundraising, budgeting and more - and get instant answers, templates, etc.
3. AI as Your Marketer on Demand
While AI won't run your ad campaigns for you (yet), our AI tool will help ideate your next marketing campaign, write your social media strategy, create your ad content and more. Think of it as your marketing crystal ball, helping you spend ad dollars where they actually count.
The takeaway?
AI isn’t the enemy. It’s the new ensemble member who can run a thousand cues at once without breaking a sweat. The shows that will stand out in the next five years will be the ones that know how to blend human artistry with machine efficiency.
If you want to dig deeper into how tools like these can help you self-produce, market smarter, and leapfrog years of trial-and-error… that’s what we're diving into right now as part of our Mentorship Mastermind Program.
The curtain is going up on a new era. You don’t want to miss the opening.
