According to Show Maker Symposium founder Jim Digby, the new series takes the perspective of those who have any kind of supporting role in the live entertainment business and is intended to serve as a guided conversation on the many challenges these hard-working industry professionals now face.
“The series is designed to provide a very personal look at human nature and the adaptability that’s required to get through this unprecedented time in our industry,” Digby said.
