Catherine Schreiber Productions

What Catherine Schreiber Productions does

Catherine Schreiber Productions is a privately held theatrical production company founded in 2010 and headquartered in New York City, with London operating as a secondary base for West End activity. The company produces Broadway, West End, Off-Broadway, and touring theatrical productions, working through co-production arrangements with major venue operators and independent producers. The company has won five Tony Awards (Clybourne Park 2012, Angels in America 2018, The Inheritance 2021, The Lehman Trilogy 2022, Company 2022) and one Olivier Award (Company 2019), and founder Catherine Schreiber was named 2017 Broadway Global Producer of the Year.

The business is principally a producer and co-producer of live theatrical works rather than a venue operator or licensor. Revenue derives from producer shares of box office, co-production profit participation, and ancillary media. The active slate in 2023–2024 spans family-oriented epics (Life of Pi, The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe), revivals (Cabaret at the Kit Kat Club, Death of a Salesman), new works and adaptations (The Sign in Sidney Brustein's Window, A Christmas Carol), and long-running comedies (The Play That Goes Wrong, Peter Pan Goes Wrong). Distribution occurs through premier theatre venues such as the Shubert Organization's Broadway houses, Gielgud/Bridge Theatre London, plus Off-Broadway venues and national/international touring circuits.

Marketing and audience development are primarily earned-media driven: press coverage in Playbill, Broadway World, the New York Times and regional publications; TV interviews on KUSI News, Good Morning LaLa Land, and Deborah Kobylt LIVE; and the proprietary "Broadway and Beyond TV" series on Reach TV across North American and UK airports. Sub-branded social channels (Facebook, Instagram) support promotion. Pricing is determined by venue operators rather than by the production company, making the underlying product the curated slate of productions and the producers' relationships with creative talent that secure premier venues and talent attachments.
