On today's show, I speak with Liza Luxenberg, the Senior Vice President of Aurora Productions. Aurora is a production management and technical supervision company that specializes in Broadway, Off-Broadway, and touring theater productions. Liza walks me through her journey from college stage manager, to intern, to her Senior Vice President role at Aurora. She is the first Broadway person I've interviewed since the announcement of Broadway's return and we discuss a bit about what that MAY look like. Things are moving fast toward re-opening and as you'll hear, we're very excited for that to happen.For a full transcript of this episode visit beyondthelightspodcast.com.Mentioned in this Episode[00:06:01] Bay Street Theater [00:07:11] Aurora Productions[00:16:17] Intern at Aurora Productions[00:17:24] Work at Aurora Productions[00:28:44] Michael Kors Fashion ShowFollow Aurora ProductionsWebsiteFacebookFollow Beyond the LightsWebsiteFacebookTwitterInstagram

38. LIZA LUXENBERG - Broadway Production Manager

Working on Broadway is a dream for a lot of folks. In this episode, I speak with Production Manager, Liza Luxenberg about Broadway’s close-knit family, and how that family is dealing with the effects of social distancing and COVID-19, and how might it re-start once we are able to. We also discuss the differences between Broadway and Tours, the role of the Production Manager, and how she, and the people at Aurora Productions, bring Broadway to life.
