Theater Producer

A theater producer makes a production possible. You choose or develop the project, put together the team, raise the money, set the budget, find a venue, and handle contracts with directors, designers, and performers. During rehearsals and the run, you keep an eye on spending, solve logistical problems, and promote the show so audiences come. Your work is a mix of creative judgment and business management, with many conversations with investors, donors, theatres, agents, and marketing teams.
