Natalie Caplan

Adventures In Venueland

Peel back the wrapper of some English chocolate and put on your favorite Tori Amos album – we’re headed to Los Angeles to chat with Natalie Caplan, Vice President of Entertainment for ArenaNetwork, Venue Coalition & Theater Network. Natalie tells us about her job and how they empower and assist independent venues – providing important resources and driving content to them. With more than 140 venues across North America, hear how ArenaNetwork, Venue Coalition, and Theater Network leverage their staff experience and collective knowledge among venues to provide curated support and industry advocacy for a wide mix of venues in different market sizes. From England to Arizona to New York to touring to Los Angeles, Natalie takes us along as we walk through her career journey. With an interesting path that includes publicity at Atlantic Records, being Assistant Tour Manager for Tori Amos, and the Director of Artist Relations and Events at The Greek Theatre for Nederlander Concerts, she has seen numerous sides of the industry which provided valuable perspective as she pursued new roles. We discuss trends and challenges facing venues and tours in 2024 and tips for navigating what the new “normal” is for the industry. Enjoy this educational and interesting discussion packed full of great perspective and fun stories.
