Job Description Summary
Reporting to the Director of Production, the Production Manager is responsible for the successful planning, coordination, and implementation of assigned productions in Penn Live Arts venues, on-campus university partner venues, and external venues in the greater Philadelphia area. These productions fall within a range of programming streams including Penn Live Arts Presents, university rentals and events, cocurricular and extracurricular student performing arts, and external rentals.
