Arts Administration Internship - SpeakEasy Stage Co.
Administrative interns gain exposure to all facets of managing a mid-sized non-profit theatre company, working closely with the Artistic, Development, Marketing, Engagement, and Production departments as they:
· Prepare dramaturgical and marketing materials for upcoming productions
· Coordinate and assist with special events, readings, and benefits
· Lay the groundwork for donor and audience engagement initiatives
· Read and assess script submissions from local and national writers
· Build relationships with audiences and volunteers
Interns will be expected both to help with general office duties, and also take on and manage a wide variety of necessary tasks. Candidates with a passion and love of theatre, good writing and computer skills, and a gregarious, outgoing, and enthusiastic personality will be the best fit for this position.
Arts Administration Internships are supervised by Alex Lonati, Community & Artistic Programs Manager.
SpeakEasy internships are an excellent way to learn more about the workings of a professional theatre company through hands-on experience and mentorship.
