GULFSHORE PLAYHOUSE SEEKS ADMINISTRATIVE ASSISTANT

Gulfshore Playhouse, one of the nation’s finest regional theatres, located in Naples, FL is seeking an Administrative Assistant. Join us at this exciting time, as we build our new, state-of-the-art theatre, and usher in a new era of professional theatre in Southwest Florida. Gulfshore Playhouse has performed for the last seventeen years in an intimate 200-seat venue at the Norris Center, a municipal building run by the City of Naples. The Playhouse is in the final phases of a $66M capital campaign and is under construction with the Baker Theatre and Education Center, a state-of-the-art facility, featuring a 362-seat mainstage with a Broadway-sized stage, a 125-seat flexible studio theatre, rehearsal studios, classrooms, and rental spaces. This is an extraordinarily exciting time for The Playhouse, which is experiencing unprecedented growth.



Gulfshore Playhouse currently offers a diverse season of straight plays and small musicals ranging from venerated classics and Broadway hits to contemporary works and world premieres. Once the new Baker Theatre and Education Center is complete, the offerings will increase both in number and size of the productions. This will include everything from small, edgy dramas, to huge large-cast musicals, and everything in between. As a member of the League of Resident Theatres (LORT) the Playhouse is passionately committed to producing high-quality, professional theatre that exceeds the expectations of the cultured residents and visitors of Naples, FL, many of whom are regular theatre patrons in New York, Chicago, Boston, Philadelphia, and Washington, D.C.
