Production Manager

University of British Columbia
Opera Program

As Production Manager, I assist the UBC Opera Program in mounting their productions and manage the maintenance and rentals in the UBC Old Auditorium.

Germantown Friends School

Working with every division at this private, pre-K through 12th grade institution, I managed the facilities and daily schedules for 3 performance spaces, was in charge of the equipment, maintenance and renovation budgets for these spaces, and organized all the technical aspects of each production, instructing students from 8th grade through high school in set construction, set, lighting, sound and video design. In addition, I managed weekly assemblies and special events while collaborating with various departments and providing technical support and consulting on design and building projects.

Azuka Theatre Company

I worked as a freelance Production Manager for Azuka on a number of shows. In charge of the budget and production schedule, I made sure that deadlines were met and the designers and staff stayed within their allocated budgets. With the proper planning and communication, each of these shows opened smoothly and under budget. I was also able to recycle the sets after strike, saving money on trucking and disposal.

Arcadia University

As Production Manager, I hired professional design teams, oversaw the budgets, staff and purchasing for nine Department productions over 2 years. I also spearheaded the successful renovation of the main theatre's control booth, fly system, lighting grid and electrical distribution, while securing and helping to design the layout of a new blackbox theatre for the department. As Managing Director of the department, I successfully sought out additional funding to increase the annual maintenance and equipment budgets.

Tandem Otter Productions

Working with his producer and stage manager, I supported the production and touring management for the shows created by Puppeteer and MacArthur Fellow, Basil Twist from 2008-2012
