✨ THEATER MANAGER
Live theater changes a community. It draws neighbors out of their living rooms and into shared rooms full of laughter, surprise, applause, and the occasional tear - and at Green Bay Community Theater, that magic has been growing for decades. We are a nonprofit built by talented community members who believe a great night out at the Robert Lee Brault Playhouse can entertain, enrich, and connect the city we love. Now we are searching for the next Theater Manager - the welcoming face every patron meets, the steady partner every director leans on, and the creative force who helps decide what stories Green Bay gets to experience next.
This is a role built for someone with passion and vision. You will assist directors and designers from the first read-through to closing night, helping the committee that selects the plays our community gets to experience, recruit and rally an army of volunteers, support the development team with donors and grantors, and assist with the marketing that fills our seats. The schedule is purposefully flexible, approximately two-thirds time, with the natural ebb and flow of tech weeks and performance evenings woven in so you can pour yourself into the work that matters without giving up the rest of your life. If you can picture turning this stage into something even more remarkable than it already is, we would love to meet you.
