In operation since 1928, the Paradise Theatre has entertained thousands and is committed to increasing the excellence of our productions while maintaining the historic small-town energy our patrons love.
We are looking for a Director with a variety of skills, the most important of which is the ability to work with a diverse range of people. A history of strong business management and successful fundraising is important. Fundraising methods include: grant writing, programming and promoting live shows, capital campaigns, membership drives, etc. After the interim period, the Board plans to split the duties into two positions. We’re looking for a solid leader who can work with the existing Executive Director, Michael Cooper, to take over the day to day activities as well as collaborate with the Board of Directors to develop the Theatre’s future path. The ability to communicate positively and delegate tasks to a team is critical.
Under the direction of the Board of Directors, the Executive Director is responsible for overall management and operation of the Paradise Theatre and protection of the organization’s financial assets while ensuring compliance with board directives and applicable grantor, federal and state requirements.
