Business Theater Productions

Shaan proposes creating theatrical productions and creative content focused on business stories, inspired by the success of "The Lehman Trilogy" play. The idea aims to fill a gap in business entertainment by presenting compelling business narratives in theatrical formats.

Key Points:

• Content Focus:

  • Business stories and historical events
  • First potential project: Story of Sylvester Stallone writing Rocky
  • Focus on dramatic, compelling narratives from business history

• Format Innovation:

  • Move beyond traditional content formats (tweets, newsletters, podcasts, YouTube)
  • Create "grand creative acts" through theatrical productions
  • Present business content in more engaging, artistic ways

• Market Opportunity:

  • Current gap in business entertainment content
  • Proven interest through success of Lehman Brothers play
  • Audience desire for business stories told in creative formats

• Inspiration from Lehman Brothers Play:

  • 3.5 hour production with only 3 actors
  • Tells 100+ years of business history
  • Focuses on the story leading up to major events rather than the events themselves
  • Successfully combines business content with artistic presentation

• Differentiation:

  • Higher risk but potentially more fulfilling than traditional content
  • More ambitious and creative approach to business storytelling
  • Creates unique, memorable experiences versus standard business content
