The posting

We believe a story can change what a person can see: not by arguing, but by showing them something true they didn’t have words for. Dream Three is a story studio built to deliver best-in-class, genre-spanning narratives across mediums, including film and series, theater and live events, publishing and music, and digital and immersive. If you’re looking for a team that takes big creative swings and doesn’t settle for less than excellent, keep reading.

POSITION SUMMARY

We’re seeking a Production Manager with live theater and corporate/industrial experience to oversee the budget, scheduling, vendor coordination, risk management, and on-site execution for high-profile theatrical, music, and live events. You’ll run point from planning through integration, ensuring the show delivers on time, on budget, on spec, and safely.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

- Production schedule: including clear approval gates and milestones; maintain calendars and milestone accountability.

- Production budget: assumptions, cost tracking, weekly updates, and contingency management.

- Vendor Coordination: Lead RFPs for staging, rigging, lighting, audio/RF, video/capture, and any other necessary vendor; manage scopes, bids, and COIs.

- Venue Operations: Liaise with the venue contact and coordinate rules, rigging points, power distribution, load-in/out timelines, and dock and fire-lane compliance.

- Audience Operations: Work with the Front of House partner to map and run audience operations, including wristband, queue, and ADA flows. Build a staffing matrix, seating plans, and signage.

- Technical Production Operations: Oversee technical integration with the Technical Director to approve plots/shop drawings, screen maps/media-server specs, RF plan, comms/intercom, and show control.

- Run Of Show: Produce and maintain run-of-show paperwork (run sheets, cue sheets, lineups); plan and enforce cue-to-cue and camera rehearsal timing with Show Caller / Stage Manager and Technical Director.

- Music Operations: Coordinate the Music team to source stems, cue sheets, and live vs. streaming handoff; ensure playback deliverables to A1.

- Safety & Compliance: Own incident command plan, egress/ADA, fire marshal coordination, insurance/permits, and emergency procedures.

- Weekly Production Meetings: Coordinate weekly meetings and issue decisions and action items; manage change control and escalation.

- Reporting: Deliver wrap reports including cost report/reconciliation, vendor evaluations, postmortem (keeps/fixes), and asset/COI archiving.

TOOLS YOU’LL USE

Asana, Slack, Dropbox, Microsoft Office, budgeting tools, Vectorworks, Airtable, 1Password, and comms/RF coordination tools.

WHAT YOU’LL BRING

- Experience: 5+ years producing live theater (touring or large musicals a plus), corporate/industrial shows (ballrooms, multi-camera, LED/IMAG), and music events (proscenium, stadium, outdoor, etc.)

- Budgeting & Scheduling: Proven mastery of budgeting, scheduling, vendor RFPs/awards, and hotel/union house coordination

- Technical Production Literacy: Working literacy in rigging/power, RF planning, ADA/egress, and fire marshal compliance

- Management Skills: Calm, decisive leadership under live conditions; clear written artifacts (run sheets, risk plans, call sheets)

- Values: High integrity, proactive communication, and a bias for well-documented processes

ROLE REQUIREMENTS

- Impeccable attention to detail, follow‑through, and written communication; you live in checklists and hit deadlines.

- Calm, proactive problem‑solver who keeps budget on track.

PLUSES

- Experience working with hotels and large event spaces.

- Experience working in union houses (IATSE, Teamsters, etc.) and navigating labor rules, calls, and breaks.

- Comfort working in outdoor or non-traditional venues with weather, noise, and permitting constraints.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS

- Work Authorization: Must be authorized to work in the U.S.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
