There are four positions available.

The first will serve as assistant to the Artistic Director. Duties will include
schedule-
keeping, communication with the Board of Directors and other staff, casting
assistant,
errand running, photo copying, and other tasks as they come up. While we are in
production, duties will expand to include run-crew, set building, and
house-management.
Also if qualified, the possibility of serving as Assistant Director exists.
This position is
available immediately and will continue through our main-stage production of the
silent
concerto (scheduled to run Jan 11- Feb 3), with the possibility of an extension
and
rehearsal room experience.

The second assistant will serve as assistant to the Managing Producer. Duties
will include
scheduling, light courier work, errand running, etc. While we are in production,
duties will
expand to include run-crew, set building, and possibly some house-management.
Also
serving as liaison to theatre employees when Producer is not available. This
position is
available immediately and will continue through our main-stage production of the
silent
concerto (scheduled to run Jan 11- Feb 3), with the possibility of an extension
and
rehearsal room experience.

The third and fourth positions available are during production only and will
serve as
Production Assistants. Duties may include, errand running, box-office staffing,
set
dressing, costume maintenance, light and sound board operation and/or run-crew.

All candidates should possess strong organizational skills, and have a strong
desire to
enter the creative (Asst. to director), or business (Asst. to producer) parts of
theatre. Most
of the hours will be in the afternoon or evening. This is a wonderful
opportunity to be a
part of an emerging theatre company and gain invaluable experience in the
not-for-profit
theatre community in New York. We promise you this is more than a
coffee-fetching
position, but rather an opportunity to become part of the team.

There is no salary, but college credit is possible, and a modest honorarium.

The first two positions are available immediately and will be approximately 10
hours per
week. The PA positions will start after the holidays and run through February
4th.
