Howdy folks,
Please pass along this job posting to any interested and qualified people. I can answer questions about the job as it has been for me.
Also I couldn't post to the stagecraft list @theatrical.net, not sure why, I get the emails but it said I want subscribed. Can someone post that there too?
This job requires a person who can work autonomously and is self motivated to manage and improve the city venues.
I am leaving Merrill after 8 1/2 years to be a stay at home dad.
Thanks, Gregg
