Pemberley Productions Llc

What Pemberley Productions Llc does

Pemberley Productions LLC is a privately held theatrical production and general management firm co-led by Managing Partners Tim Smith (founder, 2013) and Doreen Sayegh, operating from New York and Chicago. The company provides three integrated services to commercial theatre producers, overseas/UK producers seeking US market entry, and regional theatres/arts centers: (1) full-service commercial general management for New York, Chicago, and North American touring productions; (2) tour booking and management across North America and internationally; and (3) producing and development of selected projects screened for commercial viability and values alignment. Its current slate includes Heathers the Musical at New World Stages (described as the largest Off-Broadway show) with a 2027 North American tour, Mexodus (a P3 Productions and Audible co-production launching regional engagements summer 2026), and a recurring partnership with PW Productions for The Woman in Black (continuously touring the US since 2018). It has also expanded into immersive entertainment as the General Manager of Culture House Immersive and runs a development slate of new works including Candlewood Lake, Mister Danny, She Came From the Bronx, and Sh*t Tim.

The business model is B2B professional services and producing: revenue is generated through general management fees on commercial productions, tour booking and management commissions on North American and international tours, and producing/co-producing economics (including potential backend participation) on owned and partnered projects. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is negotiated on a per-engagement basis, typically structured as multi-year contracts. The go-to-market motion is enterprise field sales grounded in direct relationships and referrals within the theatre industry, with no consumer-facing marketing. Customers are exclusively commercial, institutional, and cultural entities (commercial producers, international theatre companies, regional theatres and arts centers); the company has served clients across at least 13 countries spanning North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Oceania, and Africa.

The team is intentionally lean, with six human staff members (including two Managing Partners, two additional General Managers, one Associate GM & Tour Manager, and one Assistant GM) supported by three animal team members, drawn from backgrounds including Druid Theatre Company, Royal Shakespeare Company, Chicago Shakespeare Theater, Sadler's Wells, Roundabout Theatre Company, and CAA Nashville. The company is bootstrapped with no disclosed institutional funding, founder/management-owned, and operates with a values-driven culture emphasizing fair pay, work-life boundaries (standard hours Monday-Friday 9:30am-5:30am-5:30pm EST), and reduced environmental impact. The 2025/2026 season is publicly described as the company's largest to date, with work seen across 22 theatres in the US, Canada, and the UK.
