Qualifications

  • Education level: College degree or comparable work experience at a non-profit organization

  • Ability to prioritize duties while helping to manage a busy, year-round schedule of events happening at the theatre

  • Detail-oriented organizational skills

  • Ability to multitask, managing internal responsibilities as well as external inquiries that need attention 

  • Experience with Google Suite: Gmail, Google Docs and Google Sheets
