Production Manager: Devon Dian travels up from The Marathon Center for the Performing Arts in Findlay to educate us
A Production Manager works with the  management team, technical crew and Designers to make sure the technical  elements of a show are completed safely, on time and on budget.  Production Managers work on a variety of different shows for a theatre  season.
Although similar, there is a difference between a Production Manager and a Stage Manager. A Stage Manager liaises with different departments throughout the day  and make sure everything is running smoothly, whereas a Production  Manager liaises with different departments to ensure decisions being  made are within budgets and everything is working safely.
