Ken Davenport’s Interests:
My Blog! TheProducersPerspective.com Ken’s current projects include adapting the novel and film Somewhere in Time into a Broadway musical and developing a new social networking site for the Broadway community called BroadwaySpace.com.
Ken Davenport’s Groups:
He is a senior member of the organization known as The Off-Broadway Brainstormers, a town-hall like forum for dialogue amongst the Off-Broadway community at large. The Brainstormers were founded on the belief that communication and collaboration amongst industry peers is critical for the success of the community. The Brainstormers have already implemented several industry changing initiatives including a quantitative study of its audiences and the now biannual “20at20” campaign, which gives audiences an opportunity to purchase $20 tickets, 20 minutes before curtain time, to a variety of Off-Broadway shows (www.20at20.com). Ken was the committee leader for both 20at20 and the focus group studies.
