As THEATER Content Curator, your duties will first include doing daily tasks shared by many working in the THEATER section:

-Upload of play info and other theater events in cities where Picture This Post has editions to the Picture This Post Reader’s Calendar. 

- Social media sharing of theater related content to actors, directors and other theater-makers being profiled in new Picture This Post articles (reviews, previews, PICTURE PREVIEWS, interviews and round-up features.)

Depending on your time availability and interests— a custom program will be developed in consultation with you that additionally includes mastering our guidelines and skills to do one or more of the following—

-PICTURE PREVIEWS (Extracting info needed to complete layout; social media).  

--preview articles (inverse pyramid/AP Style editing of promotional press releases into news, layout, social media)

-interview articles (email interviews for q/a articles) 

-professional correspondence /outreach to production cast and creative team members with an eye to expand various types of Picture This Post theater content.

-outreach to theater enthusiasts to solicit their interest in becoming a Picture This Post review writer*

(*This position does NOT include writing theater reviews--- applications to become a review writer are separate and begin with a Trial Balloon Process.)

Amy Munice will be the primary supervisor of your volunteer work. She is the co-publisher of the magazine, a 30+ year PR professional and freelance journalist, and cultural reporter who has penned many hundreds of articles. She will be the author of your future reference for job hunting purposes.

Training sessions are held by zoom—usually in small groups—throughout the week and weekend. Initially you will need to adapt your schedule in order to attend training sessions to learn layout, confer on rewrites/instruction, and more. Once you have the prerequisite skills, you determine your schedule.

Picture This Post is an entirely volunteer organization, from top to bottom. We are a not-for-profit (as opposed to a 501c3 non-profit) – too small to hire accountants etc. needed for non-profit status. Students are like all volunteers EXCEPT that much time/energy goes into training students and helping you develop a portfolio for future job hunting.  

This position is an excellent opportunity for anyone interested in the theater world and how it reflects our culture, and for initial exposure to how an online magazine works.
