Job Summary

The Sound Supervisor oversees sound across all venues for the season. Reporting directly to the Production Manager, the Sound Supervisor manages a Sound Technician and works collaboratively with them to execute all sound-related tasks from designing the rep plot, coordinating rentals with outside vendors, loading in, cueing each show, running each show, and loading out. All of our presentations across the professional and Training Program season are in development, and therefore require flexibility, patience, and a can-do attitude. Some projects may require a lot of support, some may require a simpler 鈥渓ights up, lights down鈥� approach, and some projects may provide their own Sound Designer. An ideal candidate can adapt quickly and willingly to fit the needs of each individual project.
