II.         INTRODUCTION TO CAP

C
ody & Associates Productions is expert in producing live theatrical events. We do not prescribe totally to the “build it and they will come” theory. We strongly believe that if the administrative and production management atmosphere is productive and efficient, then the creative process will flourish. We do know, from experience, that we must design it uniquely, operate it efficiently, and market it creatively - and it will be successful !

Just as businesses need an operating system to effectively run their computers, companies presenting entertainment need Entertainment Management Operating Systems provided by CAP.

The organizational structure of Cody & Associates Productions has been developed and refined over the past 30 years by veteran producer/director Michael Cody, his in-house production staff and his hand-picked team of “Associates”.

CAP's show production expertise is a combination of Mr. Cody's  artistic, technical and administrative talents and a world-class faculty of team players. These professionals are Individually and collectively recognized experts and familiar with every aspect of stage show production. Under Mike Cody's direction, this army of specialists is dedicated to excellence while taking the challenge of producing creative and cost-effective theatrical products.

Over the years, companies who, at times, could be competitors have become entertainment project partners by contracting CAP to provide key administrative artistic and technical elements. The results have been live theatrical events that rank among the best in the business..

III.        CAP, THE PRODUCTION MANAGEMENT SPECIALIST

Cody and Associates represents a full-spectrum production network utilizing resources from throughout the world.

Equally as important as its accredited core of staff, however, are the administrative management operating systems, which the company has developed and refined over the past years.
