Garen Scribner is a Los Angeles-based producer, talent manager, and professional dancer. He is best known for his decade spent performing with the San Francisco Ballet, as well as his role in the Broadway musical An American in Paris. [1]
Beyond his career as a professional dancer, Scribner also serves as the Artistic Director of the San Francisco Dance Film Festival and the Founder of his management company, Pilot Mgmt. [2]
Early life and education
[edit]Scribner grew up in Virginia as the son of a physicist and a barber and quickly developed an interest in performing arts. His passion led him to further his education at North Carolina School of the Arts where he was able to connect with future collaborators and colleagues. [3] Scribner joined the San Francisco Ballet directly following high school in 2003 and was promoted to soloist by 2008. [4] Despite embarking on his concert dance career early on, both the pandemic and a foot injury led him to step away from the stage and focus his attention elsewhere. It was during this time that he was accepted into the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University and graduated with a master’s in public administration just one year later. [5]
Career
[edit]Stage
[edit]After leaving the San Francisco Ballet in 2013, Scribner was invited to dance with the Nederlands Dans Theater and toured with the company as a soloist for the following year. [6] Scribner went on to star as The Matador in the Metropolitan Opera's production of La Traviata until the pandemic in 2020. [7]
Producing
[edit]While freelancing in Manhattan, Scribner worked with a fellow UNCSA alum to begin production for WNET's Broadway Sandwich which has been nominated for seven Emmy Awards since 2021. [8]The show was all about highlighting how Broadway's biggest stars spend their time between shows, and granted Scribner the opportunity to later on create and produce WNET's And the Tony Nominees Are.... [9] Scribner joined the San Francisco Dance Film Festival team in January of 2024 and began his position as the managing director where he grew the festival's audience by introducing a plethora of films to the program.[10] Shortly after beginning his time with the San Francisco Dance Film Festival, he was appointed artistic director and organized the screening of hit films such as ″Center Stage″ and ″Dirty Dancing″ as fundraising opportunities for the festival. [11] Under his production company GarenMedia, Scribner has produced several dance-related short films over the years. His credits include ″Tiler Peck: Suspending Time″, which marked his debut as executive producer of a feature-length film and won a 2026 Emmy Award for ″Outstanding Arts and Culture Documentary″. [12]
Arts management
[edit]Scribner founded the artist management company Pilot MGMT once artists began approaching him for production and representation assistance. His company consults artists by connecting them with creative collaborators and negotiating their contractual agreements. [13]
