I started the program in 2015 and finished in 2016. When did you attend and what courses did you take? I didn’t have an idea yet for a business, but I knew I might one day and wanted to be prepared for that. A friend of mine told me about Columbia’s Business Certificate program and that you could do it at night. Also, I didn’t really want to go back to school for several years. I was interested in learning more about business, but I knew I didn’t want a degree that meant I would be recruited by a corporation. I thought about getting an MBA (my dad has an MBA), but in the theater business it is not advantageous at all to stop working. We caught up with Nathaniel to find out what brought him to SPS and how he came up with the idea for Broadway Plus: Now, that production company is known for managing Hamilton around the world. While in undergrad at Duke, he interned with Stone Productions, and became Baseline Theatrical’s first associate after he graduated college. He first came up with the idea while working on a class assignment as part of the Advanced Graduate Business Certificate at the Columbia University School of Professional Studies.īefore coming to Columbia in 2015, Nathaniel had been working for producers and general managers on Broadway. Today, he is the founder and president of Broadway Plus, a startup that tailors backstage VIP theater experiences to those looking to get the most out of their visit to the theater district with great seats, and actor-led backstage tour and a swag bag. Nathaniel Hill ('16SPS, Advanced Graduate Certificate in Business) grew up in New Hampshire and cherished every visit his family made to Broadway.
