Savannah Performance Alliance strongly believes that the Savannah performing arts community is just that: a community. A diverse collection of creative producers, directors, actors, singers, dancers, designers, technical crew, and more that are strong on their own but strongest when they come together to unite behind a common goal of bringing the arts to Savannah and the entire coastal region.
THIS EPISODE: Part of our PANEL SERIES, this episode highlighting The Art of Producing Theater was recorded LIVE at the inaugural Savannah Performing Arts Festival that took place February 10th through February 22nd, 2025 at Savannah Cultural Arts Center’s Ben Tucker Theater and other locations in the Hostess City. More than 30 events were held, more than 1,000 tickets were issued to both locals and visitors alike, and thousands of dollars were raised to support the performing arts in Savannah. All of the proceeds benefitted the Savannah Performance Alliance, a non-profit collective of local arts organizations whose mission is to drive awareness, attendance, and acceptance of the performing arts in the Hostess City.

Moderated by Dee Daniels, participants Rick Garman, Travis Coles, Mike Zaller, JinHi Soucy Rand, Jayme Tinti, and DJ Queenan share insights on maintaining creative integrity amidst budget constraints, the importance of community and resourcefulness, and the often-overlooked contributions of tech crews and stage managers.
The conversation also touches on the challenges of securing performance spaces, the impact of audience feedback, and the dynamics of selecting shows while ensuring they align with their unique artistic missions. The discussion culminates with audience questions about busking regulations, integrating SCAD students, and overcoming production setbacks, highlighting the collaborative spirit essential in Savannah’s vibrant theater community.
