Career Path Of A Production Manager At Hamilton And Hudson Theatricals

I did my undergraduate studies at NYU's Tisch School of the Arts, where I majored in Production and Design and also double-majored in Politics. During my time there, I spent a lot of time working on our big, main stage shows and major university productions.

I was also fortunate to have a couple of great internships. I interned at The Broadway League in New York, which is the trade organization representing Broadway producers, general managers, and theater owners. I also worked with The Public Theater at Shakespeare in the Park for a summer, which was a valuable experience in the professional theater world.

Finally, I got to run a program at NYU called "The Reality Show," which develops original musicals. We brought these shows to campuses all over the world, which was a lot of fun.

After I graduated, I landed a dream job as a stage management production assistant at *Hamilton* the musical, for its transition to Broadway. I started about four weeks before I graduated and continued through the opening on Broadway.

There, I met my future boss, the show's production manager. He hired me at Hudson Theatricals and Hudson Scenic Studios, where I worked my way up. I began as his assistant production manager and later spent time at the scenic studio as an assistant project manager.

Eventually, I became a lead production manager at the company. In this role, I managed a slate of Broadway shows, national tours, international productions, as well as live events, art and architecture, and theme park work.
