Welcome to the wonderful world of ArtsBacker.

To help you get acquainted with us, we have prepared two brief tours for your consideration.

1) How It Works Tour

2) Decision Tour

Theatrical gross in the United States alone has increased almost 300% in the last two decades. The growth curve continues. In 2007, over 24,000,000 people attended Broadway and road company productions. Broadway plays alone are grossing over $730 million per year. Productions in London and touring companies raise the annual total in the United States and England to well over $2 billion.

ArtsBacker has created a mechanism for a public partnership with Broadway by providing a "stage door" that will open to everyone; to select a specific play headed for Broadway or the West End or a national tour, and offer millions of smaller investors the opportunity to become a backer. Units (shares) in these productions will be registered securities with the SEC, affording greater transparency for the investment. And due to the wonders of the internet, smaller investors will be allowed inside the process, to witness first hand the angst, the joy and the thrill of opening night, as well as share in the economic results of a large and growing industry.

Through ArtsBacker, you'll attend full dress rehearsals. You'll go backstage for the traditional Cast Party. And you'll get the rewarding, royal, Red Carpet Treatment.

How to Be an ArtsBacker

First, take the "How It Works" Tour. which then leads you to the "Decision Tour". (both are mentioned above)

That will then lead you to the simple registration and login in the "Production Documents and User Login" section. Then you'll have access to all the productions and their full descriptions that are currently available for investment. When you see a production opportunity that's too good to pass up, click on "Next Steps" to invest $2500, $5000 or more with a credit card or electronic check transaction. It's that simple.

Once you've invested, you'll have your own special Green Room for ongoing production news, scripts, videos, photos, and chats with the stars, director, playwright and additional guest celebrities.
