Theatre Producer

Operations

A theatre producer in India is the commercial and operational spine of a stage production — the person who raises money, signs contracts, books venues, assembles the creative team, manages the budget from first read-through to closing night, and decides which plays get made at all. Unlike a director (who shapes the artistic vision) or a stage manager (who runs rehearsals day-to-day), the producer holds the financial and legal risk of the production. In India, this role ranges from independently producing 10-show runs at Prithvi Theatre or NCPA Mumbai, to running the full production slate of a corporate-backed company like Aadyam (Aditya Birla Group), to building a regional Marathi or Bengali commercial theatre circuit with touring productions. Entry paths combine arts administration training, experience as a stage manager or production coordinator, and the ability to navigate both the creative economy and India's fragmented live-events infrastructure — vendor relationships, entertainment tax compliance, IPRS licensing, booking agents, and the BookMyShow ticketing ecosystem.
