Production Management for Theater
Thomas Quintas
Description from DukeHub
What does it mean to successfully manage an artistic endeavor? How does management affect whether or not a project is successful? How can artist managers be more sensitive and responsive to the needs of their fellow collaborators? This course explores theater from the perspective of the production manager. While our focus will be theater, we'll also discuss how to apply skills such as scheduling, budgeting, writing contracts, and personnel negotiation across the performing and cinematic arts.

The checks lean on Microsoft Research, Working with AI (2025), which found generative AI applies least to physical work and hands-on work with people. A signal, not a promise. How the score works
