You shape your organization’s artistic vision — curating seasons, balancing creativity and budget, and keeping everyone aligned. But it’s a constant juggling act. You need to satisfy audiences, funders, and boards while managing tight calendars and limited resources.
Programming teams balance several core responsibilities across each season.
Balancing creative ambition with financial realities.
Keeping calendars full and conflict-free for the season.
Attracting new and diverse audiences while keeping loyal patrons engaged.
Managing multiple stakeholders — promoters, producers, funders, and boards.
Giving marketing and box office reliable data to promote effectively.
