Show Business Inc.

Located in midtown Manhattan, Show Business Inc. is an entertainment-industry brand aimed at people working in film and the performing arts in New York City. Show Business publishes a weekly tabloid-sized trade magazine, a monthly digest-sized resource guide, "Who’s Who in Show Business", and the annual publication, "The Space Book". In addition, the company runs ShowBusinessWeekly.com.

The company’s primary publication is "Show Business" newspaper, also known as "Show Business Weekly", which publishes casting and audition notices as well as entertainment industry-related job information for actors, singers and dancers working in the Greater New York City area. Its editorial content also includes industry news and service articles relevant to performing arts professionals.

History

"Show Business" newspaper was founded in 1941 as a one-sheet mimeograph that sold for 5¢ in Times Square, down the block from its original office at 1501 Broadway. It was the first and only publication of its kind that reported on job opportunities, auditions and casting calls for actors. "Show Business is microfilmed at the New York Public Library, which considers the publication the area's entertainment trade paper of record.

In 1960, "Show Business"’ ad manager, Ira Eaker, and editor, Allen Zwerdling, left "Show Business" to form a competing newspaper called "Back Stage". The two papers continue to compete in the performing arts marketplace.

"Show Business" was re-launched in 1999 with a new layout and a companion website, ShowBusinessWeekly.com. That same year, the company adopted the tag statment "The Original Casting Weekly." A year later, Show Business acquired the rights to publish "The Space Book", an annual directory of theater space rentals for off-Broadway and off-off-Broadway. In March 2007, Show Business launched its monthly publication, "Who's Who in Show Business".
