THE PRODUCTION

From concept to curtain.

For Pipedream Productions' staging of First Date, my involvement extended well beyond my formal Production Manager credit, encompassing much of the producing work required to bring the musical to the stage.

Working across both creative and operational aspects of the production, my responsibilities included assembling the creative team, managing budgets and contracts, coordinating rehearsals and venue arrangements, and overseeing marketing and ticketing.

It was a hands-on producing role, connecting the creative ambitions of an independent theatre company with the practical demands of delivering a fully realised production.
