<div dir="ltr">Hi folks,<div>It's finally time for me to head out and give some one else an opportunity to enjoy life in Williamstown. </div><div><br></div><div>The new position posted here:</div><div><a href="https://staff-careers.williams.edu/psp/cangate/EMPLOYEE/HRMS/c/HRS_HRAM.HRS_CE.GBL?Page=HRS_CE_JOB_DTL&Action=A&SiteId=1&JobOpeningId=301201&PostingSeq=1">https://staff-careers.williams.edu/psp/cangate/EMPLOYEE/HRMS/c/HRS_HRAM.HRS_CE.GBL?Page=HRS_CE_JOB_DTL&Action=A&SiteId=1&JobOpeningId=301201&PostingSeq=1</a></div><div>is a bit more humane, now that Nate Wiessner has so ably taken on the Operations side of what we do. Thus, the position of Theatre Department Production Manager will now be focused primarily on supporting the 4-6 shows the Department mounts every year, teaching one semester of theatre production and/or management, and supporting the work of the Department's Summer Theatre Lab, a 6 week intensive session for our best students under the creative direction of some of our working alums. There's also occasional babysitting for a certain Tony-award-winning theatre that we let use the place from time to time. </div><div><br></div><div>The position is listed as a one-year interim appointment because the Theatre Department is undergoing it's required 10-year review. We wanted to retain some flexibility in the Production Manager's duties to adapt to any changes the Department might put into effect. There will always need to be someone serving as a Production Manager, we're just not sure what specific flavor will be best after the review process is complete. At present, the PM side of my job is about 70% of my time, the remainder is working on productions--typically as ME and/or special projects. This may not be what suits the next person's suite of skills, but expect to spend some time working with your hands.</div><div><br></div><div>Please don't hesitate to shoot me an email if you have any questions about the position or life here in the Berkshires. We're looking to get the search wrapped up this spring, and would like to see the new person here in July. I'll be around if any sage wisdom is required, but staying away unless invited. I'll be in the local area, so not adverse to an occasional load-in or short term project here and there.</div><div><br></div><div>Best wishes,</div><div><br></div><div>Cosmo</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><div><div class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><font color="#cccccc">Cosmo Catalano</font><div><span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255)"><font color="#cccccc">Production Manager</font></span></div><div><font color="#cccccc">Williams College Dept of Theatre</font></div><div><span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255)"><font color="#cccccc">413-822-0094</font></span></div></div></div></div></div></div>
