Work Light Productions

________

Work Light Productions is a creator and producer of live theatre. We believe in the power of live performance to bring people together, to entertain and to transform. In a world of endless digital diversions, we strive to create meaningful opportunities for people to share experiences. We are dedicated to a diverse, equitable, and inclusive workplace that values every member of our team - from our producing and management staff to the creative teams, actors, musicians, stage managers, company managers, and technicians that we employ on each production.

The roots of WLP go back to 2005 when founder Stephen Gabriel produced his first theatre for young audiences tour that brought thousands of kids and families together across the U.S. WLP was formed in 2008 when his partner, Nancy Gabriel, joined him in producing its first large-scale tour of Avenue Q, and an office was opened in Summit, NJ. From there the company grew to produce national tours of In the Heights, American Idiot, Mamma Mia!, Cinderella, Irving Berlin’s White Christmas, Rent, Motown the Musical, Jesus Christ Superstar, Ain’t Too Proud, and many others. WLP also develops original work, including the stage adaptation of Clue, one of the top-licensed plays in the U.S. In 2016, WLP opened a production office in Charleston, SC led by Rhys Williams, Director of Production. WLP is proud to manage every aspect of its shows, from Producing to Technical Production to General Management.

Position: Director of Finance
Categories: Director of Finance

David is thrilled to join the Work Light Productions team as Director of Finance.

He was born and raised in London, UK. Upon leaving school, David started his finance career in the City of London in International Banking.  He soon realized he needed to follow his passion for music so he intertwined his skills in finance with an entry into the entertainment business at Metropolis Studios in London during its early years.  He is proud that he had a chance to discover his passion at a start-up which is now the leading independent recording studio in Europe. He has also worked for Jazz Summers (manager for Wham! and Lisa Stansfield) as well as Big Life Records, Management and Publishing and later, Polygram Records. 

Following a visit to New York City, David knew what his next goal was – to create a life for himself in the US.  After 8 years of living in the US, David obtained his green card.  Inspired by his husband, who was pursuing a theatre career, David pivoted his passion for the music industry to a new-found love of theatre arts. Again, opportunity came where David could intertwine his financial background with the arts community by joining Dramatists Play Service as Accounts Manager.  With a lot of hard work and commitment David eventually became the Acting President VP of Finance & Administration for Dramatists Play Service. 

David is committed to “diversity and inclusivity in theatre and the arts”. He now shares his home in New Jersey, with his family and a menagerie of pets.  He loves dancing around the house and sharing his love of music with his daughter.
