About Joe Patti
When I was a teenager if anyone would have told me that I would be excited to share information on contract law, marketing, human resources, grant writing and philosophy of setting ticket prices, I would have laughed..and laughed.
But there is such of dearth of this information applicable to the needs of non-profit arts organizations that I do get excited when I see the opportunity to discuss these topics.
I am currently the theatre manager of a University of Hawaii presenting venue. My performing arts background includes some acting and technical theatre, though few would hire me in those capacities. With a grad degree in theatre management, my management experience spans LORT theatres, an outdoor Shakespeare Festival, a stint as a visiting university professor and outdoor music festival and event coordinator.
