2965 Mission St near 26th Street, San Francisco CA

Description

If you enjoy a well-run show at a theater—crisp lighting cues, moments of the perfect musical beat, professionally executed multimedia—maybe there’s a stage manager inside you. If you like making things run smoothly and on time, Endgames might be looking for you. Stage & Front of House Managers at Endgames Improv are the conductors of our symphony. They communicate and stay on top of everything with fingers on the light, sound, and video, close relationships to performers, producers, and audience coming through the front lobby. Shows at Endgames are a team effort, but this role has their hands in everything. Endgames is a community at its heart. We come to entertain and to put in good work, but we also come to be with our friends, have fun, and make something we’re passionate about. Our mission is to put on the best improv comedy in San Francisco, and we think we’re doing pretty good at that.
