Executive Director - Shellscrape Theatre Co.

DESCRIPTION: Shellscrape Theatre Company seeks a volunteer part-time Executive Director to manage and provide administrative and program support for the day to day activities of our growing company. Applicants from underrepresented communities in theatre encouraged to apply.

Even if you do not meet all of the qualifications below, we encourage you to apply - happy to share what we’ve learned with enthusiastic members if needed!
