DESCRIPTION

Production Manager / Stage Manager for 2026 Season

Ancram Center for the Arts seeks a highly collaborative, well-organized, and detail-oriented individual to serve as Production Manager / Resident Stage Manager. This is a hybrid opportunity with onsite work during rehearsals and performances and administrative responsibilities that can be executed remotely. The ideal candidate is a theater professional eager to make a meaningful contribution to the operations and community impact of a small, thriving 70-seat theater company serving the Hudson Valley, Berkshires, and Northwest Connecticut. Responsibilities include:

• Produce and maintain season production calendar, contact sheets and daily schedules in collaboration with the general manager and season producer.

• Run rehearsals and performances of mainstage productions as well as special events.

• Facilitate communication across all departments.

• Manage communication with visiting artists.

• Knowledge of basic lighting, projection, and sound equipment.

• Conversant in q lab, SFX and Vector works.

• Ability to read a ground plan and hang a light plot.

• Ability to run a crew.

• Excellent communication skills and a sense of humor are essential.

During our upcoming 2026 season, Ancram Center expects to produce three mainstage productions, each with 3 weeks rehearsal/2 weeks performances, four one-week artist residencies culminating with public showings, and approximately six one-day special events, including readings, music concerts, a summer fundraising gala, and community storytelling performances.

Ancram Center for the Arts operates under agreements with Actors’ Equity Association, United Scenic Artists and Stage Directors and Choreographers. Equity and non-Equity stage managers are welcome to apply. Performances take place in an historic performance hall and offsite outdoor venues. A newly opened Annex adjacent to the performance hall provides meeting space and artist housing. For more information about our activities, go to ancramcenter.org.
