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…

This prestigious ranking surveyed employee sentiment, and it appears that employees of Peppercomm take pride in their company, appreciate their uniquely satisfying work/life balance, and the overall workplace culture. To list a few perks, employees have their birthday off, are offered stand-up comedy training, telecommuting, and bring-your-kids-to-work day. “At Peppercomm, we put our people first. THat’s how we’ve attracted and retained the best talent in the industry for the past 20 years,” decrees Sara Whitman, Senior Director, Talent & Strategy. “We have an incredible team of professionals who are committed to the firm and its clients because we are equally committed to them.” In view of the company’s past merits, this accolade comes as no surprise. Peppercomm is a leader in the strategic communications industry because it pushes the very boundaries that clients hope to surpass, and the its workplace culture (which isn’t a secret) attracts clientele all the more because, who wouldn’t want to hire employees who openly profess love for their job? In fact the firm was given Crain’s New York Business’ first place listing for Best Places to Work in 2012, because they actually (really) do have a stand-up comedy culture at the heart of their

Four months into the school year and this portfolio project has brought me to a number of realizations. The choices I made in my Technical Theatre I classes worked well, I feel they lead to a deeper understanding of the elements of design and they made points I had a hard time making in the past. While in my advanced class, I struggled to get a majority of students engaged in the large “Macbeth” project. During this semester, I came to the conclusion I need to fight more for the right to “approve” students for my advanced class. I don’t want my classes to become a dumping ground for students not willing to work.

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.

The majority of musicals that receive positive feedback in the Broadway industry are so popular because of their ability to relate and appeal to their audiences. I can attest to the popularity from my own experiences with and in musicals. For example, Dear Evan Hansen is a musical that is rapidly growing to be known to the public as one of the best musicals of all time. It is based off of a true story about the modern day trials and tribulations of high school life. A normal high school student Evan suffers from social anxiety and lacks motivation to make any emotional connections with anyone.

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.

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).

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).
