Greetings, all!
I just landed a phone interview for a Production Manager position, and I'm trying to prepare for it! I've been working in a 750 seat roadhouse as the ATD for nearly five years and I'm comfortable being the jack-of-all-trades tech lead that schedules and trains the crew, but I know production management is largely budget management focused, and though I have input on our yearly capital spending now, the financial side of theatre is a little out of my wheelhouse. I would love any input or resources that would introduce me to that side of things (how to approach creating a budget, how to read a contract, how to negotiate, etc). Any production managers here that would be willing to impart a little wisdom? Any specific questions I should be prepared to answer? Is there any industry standard software I should be aware of?
Thank you!
