Production Manager
BACKGROUND
Every year Young and Hungry runs the Festival of New Theatre, which is comprised of three new New Zealand scripts written specifically for youth audiences.
The Festival is performed and designed by 15-25 year olds in a two-week season at BATS Theatre, with each of the three productions being performed every night.
Professional theatre practitioners are contracted by the Trust to mentor these young people in all facets of the Festival’s production, including: acting, lighting, sound, costumes, set, and stage management.
The rehearsal and design process runs over eight weeks to ensure that enough time is given to both the actors' development of their characters and the technical students' realization of their design.
PURPOSE OF THE ROLE
The Production Manager is charged with facilitating all aspects of the festival’s production, with specific focus on managing budgets, planning rehearsal and meeting schedules and coordinating production week logistics.
The Production Manager will lead festival personnel to achieve their greatest potential by ensuring clear lines of communication and assisting with resource management.
