The Fellowship is open to applicants from backgrounds currently under-represented in the American Theater, who are in their junior/senior year of undergrad, in graduate school, a recent graduate or early in their career.

Positions are available in Atlanta, Baltimore, Boston, Cincinnati, Fort Lauderdale, Houston, Louisville, Minneapolis, New York City, Ottawa, Seattle, and Salt Lake City.

This is an in-person Fellowship. While some remote work and virtual meetings will be part of the program, we believe having a work experience in one of our office locations will provide the best learning opportunities.

The pay rate is $17 per hour.

The Fellowship runs January 8 through April 12.

The Fellowship is intended to be 20 hours per week, for 14 weeks. Your exact schedule will be determined by your manager and we will aim to accommodate any work or class commitments you have. Friday afternoon virtual availability is required for seminars.

These Fellowship positions are with Broadway Across America in our offices nationwide. The program is conducted in partnership with Black Theatre Coalition and you’ll have meaningful interaction with the organization over the course of the program.

This program is best for individuals interested in a full-time career in the business side of arts and entertainment. If you are interested in pursuing work on the administrative side of the business in addition to your creative pursuits, this could be a good fit for you.

This is the perfect program for you. If you have or are working on a a business, finance, marketing or related degree, or have non-theater business experience, but love theater too, this is a great opportunity to see if you’d like to work in arts administration.

All Fellows in the program will gather in New York City the week of April 8-12 (exact travel dates TBD.) This week includes seminars, networking opportunities, visits to Broadway theaters, tickets to Broadway shows and more. All expenses are covered by the program.

Day to day work will vary based on location and department, and based on each Fellow’s interests. For NYC positions, Fellows will be assigned to a specific department such as Marketing, Finance, or Business Intelligence and Ticketing. In offices outside of NYC, responsibilities will include a wide breadth of tasks related to the business of touring Broadway including assisting on opening nights, sales and marketing projects, operational assistance and more.

Applications are open now through September 29, 2023. The process is simple, just fill out the application form here and upload your resume and and letter of recommendation. Interviews will take place in October, and offers will be made in early November 2023.

The purpose of the personal statement section of the application and the optional video is to give us an opportunity to know why you are interested in the program. Why are you interested in working in theater? Do you have a passion for Broadway or another art form? What are your career goals? What would you like to be doing in 5 years? What would you like to get out of a 14 week program about touring Broadway?

No. Applicable experience working in arts, entertainment or business along with a enthusiasm for theater is welcomed.

Past BTC-BAA Fellows have gone on to work at Broadway Across America, Tony Awards Productions, Bespoke Theatricals, Daryl Roth Productions, The Hippodrome Foundation in Baltimore and more.
