TRU Community Gathering via Zoom, A Theater That Seems to Be Getting It Right: Why the “B” Gets an A

A dependable haven for theater professionals, Theater Resources Unlimited (TRU) is in its sixth year of non-stop weekly Community Gatherings, having led over 300 consecutive conversations about aspects of theater and the arts. The series has offered the theater community information, inspiration, and unlimited camaraderie since April 17, 2020. TRU hosts these gatherings every Friday at 5pm ET via Zoom, originally presented to explore the creation of art and theater in the time of shutdown, and now to ensure that these crucial conversations continue going forward.

These gatherings are a service for the theater community and are offered free for TRU members; non-members may also attend for free, but we ask that non-members help keep us running by buying a $12 ticket, making a donation or joining as a member.

Burch,

executive artistic director of B Street Theater in Sacramento, now in

its 40th year. Winner of an Outstanding Theater acknowledgement at

the 2025 National Theater Conference, and originally founded as a

theater for children, B Street has built a strong foundation on the

idea of theater for all with a special focus on family theater and

educational programs. What is their secret for programming

consistently successful seasons? Does their business model differ

from other companies? In what ways have they had to adapt and evolve

over the years? And most of all, how has this modest company thrived,

and stayed alive and well even during shutdown and the tricky

transition back into live performance? Visit
