Your responsibility is to provide risk-free experiences for audience members, coordinate with venue managers and staff, and ensure that invited artists fulfill their contractual obligations.

- Decorum – FLACC enjoys a very diverse range of ages, abilities, languages, and artistic processes with the people in our productions. The Manager works to ensure a professional, harmonious, and peaceful production environment.

- Promotion – Use your personal networks, social media, and contacts in the theatre community as heavily as possible to get the word out, and encourage your cast to do the same. FLACC will work hard to promote our show via our media outlets, advertising, collateral, and community network, but there is nothing that replaces "word of mouth" advertising.
- Publicity- Your experience and expertise with bi-lingual social media posts will be an additional part of your job description. You will generate a schedule and strategy for publicity materials to be released and attend weekly meetings regarding publicity and production with the FLACC directors.
