Parents & Future Parents in Entertainment: A Holiday Think Tank & Gathering
Balancing the stage, the screen, and the family—or planning to soon? Let's connect this holiday season.
The entertainment industry is known for its magic, but it isn’t always known for its flexibility. From erratic tech week schedules to navigating fertility treatments around production calendars, building a family in Broadway and television comes with unique challenges. As we look ahead to a new year, we want to come together, reflect on where our industry can improve upon supporting working parents.
Join us for a warm, collaborative Holiday Think Tank and Festive Idea Exchange designed for parents, guardians, advocates, and anyone planning to start a family while working in theater and television.
A Warm Invitation to All Stages of Family Building
Whether you are currently managing a household or looking toward the future, your voice matters. This gathering is open to:
Current parents and guardians balancing the day-to-day hustle of industry life.
Prospective parents planning to grow their families down the road.
Anyone on a fertility journey, including those navigating IVF, adoption, or surrogacy, who understand the unique hurdles of scheduling treatments around production lines.
What to Expect Over Cheer & Conversation:
A Cozy Reflection: An open, supportive space to share where current industry standards fall short for working families and those trying to conceive.
Hopeful Brainstorms: Connect with fellow industry professionals to pitch new initiatives—from IVF support, Broadway childcare solutions to standardized family policies on set and near the theater district.
Festive Hospitality: Enjoy light treats and drinks while we chat.
Little Guests Welcome: Children are completely welcome to join, so please feel free to bring your little ones along!
Your lived experience is the data we need to push for real change. Let’s gather and celebrate this holiday season building a supportive, sustainable industry where nobody has to sacrifice their dream of a family for their career.
