John W. Bradley

John Bradley is the founding partner of Theatrical Resources, LLC.  He created the company in 1982 as a vehicle to support his role as a television and live event Staging Supervisor. John was born in New York, graduated from Fordham University and learned the entertainment business working with his father who was an IATSE Union Business Agent. John started his career on Broadway before moving to California and has spent the last 35 plus years working as a Staging Supervisor for some of the highest profile televised live events. 

He has been responsible for staging 24 Academy Awards Presentations, 26 Grammy Awards Shows, 22 Tony Awards, 15 Country Music Awards, 40 Kennedy Center Honors, Opening and Closing Ceremonies for the Olympic Games in Atlanta and Salt Lake City, 7 Democratic and Republican National Conventions, as well as traveling the world for the Miss USA and Miss Universe Pageants.

As part of his role within Theatrical Resources, John is the chief negotiator with the International Alliance of Stage Employees (IATSE) and enters into contracts with its multiple locals throughout the United States to provide union labor for shows he is working on as well as any show being managed under the Theatrical Resources umbrella. 

His extensive experience with logistics, engineering, rigging and staging production makes him a valuable commodity for producers in helping determine appropriate venues for their events as well as managing their budgets and schedules.  When he is not working on a show he can be found playing on his boat in Lake Cushman, Washington or working on his latest building/renovation home project.
