Broadway Across America and Black Theatre Coalition, in order to reflect and facilitate an inclusive commercial theater industry, have partnered to create a comprehensive paid fellowship program for college undergraduate juniors, seniors, recent college graduates and early career professionals interested in pursuing a career in theater administration. Applicants are welcomed from all fields of study, including arts administration, business, marketing, communications, finance, HR, theatre studies and more.
This program is dedicated to fostering and preserving a culture of equity, diversity, access and inclusion in the commercial theater industry while providing an invaluable, in-depth education in the business of commercial theater. Applicants from backgrounds currently under-represented in the American Theater are encouraged to apply.
BTC-BAA Fellows gain practical experience through on-the-job learning in Broadway Across America offices and learn the intricacies of the business through an education curriculum taught by JGO professionals as they embark in an offstage career in the business of Broadway. Fourteen-week, paid fellowships provide undergraduate/postgraduate students with an opportunity to develop the job skills, broaden understanding and network connections necessary to begin a professional career in the commercial theater industry.
