What does a typical theatre manager do?
Some write brochures, conduct marketing campaigns, or organize volunteers as they explain the mission and needs of an arts organization to people who may be potential donors, subscribers, or audience members. Others run actual events, such as stage managers and their assistants, facilities managers, box office supervisors, organizers of audience receptions and fundraising dinners, or managers seeing to the transportation, housing and other needs of the artists. Many others might schedule rehearsals and work calls, or supervise the design and writing of audience programs, or even oversee the financial and accounting operations of an organization. As you can see, the list of jobs necessary to successfully produce arts events can be quite long.
