of theatre companies that started small, dreamed big,
and matured into prominent institutions. We invite you

day-to-day work of a small company

Artistic Director, Managing Director, Director of Marketing and Communications and Development Manager

get swallowed up at a large theatre. Make an impact
in one of the fastest growing theatres in town!

Artistic Internship
NOTE: All 2009 Summer Artistic Internships have been filled. You may currently apply for positions through our 2009-10 season (September 09-June 10).
Learn what it takes to assemble a production team, cast
a show, create a season and raise money at a growing theatre company.
As an Artistic Administration Intern,
you’ll immerse yourself in various facets of producing
and running a not-for-profit organization. Working closely
with the Artistic Director, you’ll
gain first-hand knowledge about the casting process,
scheduling and organizing auditions; researching, reading and cataloging plays; and preparing for
and running a production. You will also find yourself contributing to our fundraising and marketing efforts, gaining insight into the world of fundraising
& grant writing, and learning how to attract and cultivate
an audience base.
Internships are non-paid positions,
however academic credit might be available. Check with
your school faculty and TimeLine for more information.
Internship hours are flexible. The
majority of the office hours occur usually
10am – 6pm Monday-Friday, although there are often meetings as well as audition and production work
in the evenings and on weekends. We often work around
intern’s class and work schedules so check with
us about your availability, and we can determine if
it’s a good fit.

Marketing/Administration Interns
NOTE: All 2009 Summer Marketing/Administration Internships have been filled. You may currently apply for positions through our 2009-10 season (September 09-June 10).
Learn what it takes to attract and build audiences, work with the media, operate a Box Office and manage a thriving not-for-profit corporation.
While artistic excellence and theatrical
innovation distinguish TimeLine Theatre onstage, it also takes astute
management to become a successful not-for-profit organization. Growth is the result of aggressive goals in earnd income (ticket sales) and donated revenue
(individual donations, foundation support & corporate
support).
Working closely with the Director of Marketing and Communications and Managing Director, you'll help implement a comprehensive
marketing and media relations plan, playing a role in direct mail campaigns, neighborhood grassroots
promotions, newspaper & radio advertising, e-mail marketing,
ticket sales, special events, an ever-expanding website
and much, much more.
