INTERN POSITION AVAILABLE JANUARY TO MAY 2012 The 52nd Street Project, an organization that creates original theater with inner-city children and volunteer theater artists, is seeking an intern to assist in all aspects of production, classes and administration. This position is extremely hands-on. The intern will work closely with the staff of ten, with children in classes and rehearsals, as well as with a number of professional actors, directors and stage managers from the New York theater community. Interns typically spend 2-3 days per week with us from 11:00 a.m.-6:00 p.m., for an average of 14 - 21 hours a week. Responsibilities include: •Working with the Associate Artistic Director in playwriting and acting workshops by assisting young people in the classes. •Assisting the Production Manager in all areas of production for our two Spring shows (Two-on-Two's and Playmaking). Performances occur at our own Five Angels Theater. •Assisting the Education Director with administration and working directly with children in our after-school Homework Help program, as well as assisting with week-long art classes in Photography and Set Design. •Participating on weekend and week-long retreats to the country where the artists and young people collaborate. Duties on these retreats range from running lines with actors to chopping onions for dinner to “kid wrangling” at the beach, bowling alley, etc. •Assisting the Executive Director and Development Director with administrative duties such as fundraising, marketing, and general office tasks. This is a really good deal! Because we are a small organization, the opportunity to see first-hand how a non-profit operates is exceptional. The kids are great, the staff is fun and amicable, and the position offers excellent exposure to a large number of artists in New York theater. We are currently looking for Spring interns (January to May), but feel free to inquire about other semester positions as well. DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSION: December 7, 2011
