We’re seeking a Permanent Part-time Producer to manage Neworld’s projects, presentations and tours.

ESSENTIAL RESPONSIBILITIES include (but are not limited to):

• Facilitating internal project-specific communications between artists, designers, production teams, and vendors;
• Managing the production and touring schedules of Neworld’s productions;
• In collaboration with the Managing Director, managing budgets for individual productions;
• In collaboration with the Managing Director, negotiating and preparing all Artist and Production contracts;
• Preparing CAEA production registration and concession requests;
• Creating and updating tour riders;
• Supporting project-specific community engagement and accessibility initiatives with the Artistic Director and Community Engagement Coordinator;
• Maintaining proper records and organizational systems.

OUR IDEAL CANDIDATE HAS:

• A minimum 3 years of experience working in a professional theatre company or another performing art organization, ideally in a production capacity (this includes experience as a Stage Manager);
• Direct theatre producing experience. Touring experience is an asset;
• Demonstrated ability to manage budgets, schedules, other production logistics;
• Knowledge of and experience working with the CTA or ITA;
• Experience communicating and working with CAEA and PACT. Experience with any of the following agreements/organizations is an asset: ADC, PGC, AMA/CFM/VMA, IATSE;
• Ability to respond to opportunities as they occur. While we’re pretty organized, we also practice something we call ‘responsive programming,’ which means our plans can change in response to both opportunities and challenges.

What is essential is that the work we do be of interest to you. We develop and produce varied styles of performance. What unites it: every Neworld project explores who we are through our different perspectives, privileges, and lived experiences. We challenge existing systems of oppression by telling stories that are as complicated and contradictory as the world we live in.
