Marketing Intern w/ WORLD PREMIERE PLAY

Are you a designer or theatre creative looking to support the marketing of a professional WORLD PREMIERE play in NYC? Do you have unique perspectives and a go-getter attitude? Are you a little bit scared of the current state of the world? Then you're in the right place!

Unlimited Stages, producer of the world premiere of GO DOWN, MOSES by Dana Leslie Goldstein - directed by Brandon Weber - is looking for one to two marketing interns to support our production from now through May/June 2026. The performances are May 13 - 31 2026 at the A.R.T./NY Gural Theatre with rehearsals starting in April 2026. Your presence in NYC is not mandatory but a HUGE plus, especially for gathering potential content!
 

ABOUT THE SHOW:
It’s 1985. Ethics professor Philip Hoffman and newly appointed Dean of Students Albert Becker already have a long history: they marched side by side for civil rights, registered voters together during Freedom Summer, and have maintained a friendship that crosses boundaries of race, religion, and country of birth.

Now, they work at a small, liberal university, where part of the job is shaping a new generation of activists. But when a star student from the South Bronx challenges the administration and invites a controversial speaker to campus, free speech becomes a battle cry. Long‑festering inequities rise to the surface, and old friends are forced to see each other—and themselves—more clearly.

Although set nearly forty years ago, the play speaks directly to the challenges facing communities and college campuses today. The conflicts at its center—who gets a platform, how institutions navigate political extremism, and what safety and inclusion truly mean—mirror ongoing debates about freedom of speech, identity, and power in our current climate. Go Down, Moses explores how people respond when their values collide with fear, when alliances shift under pressure, and when communities must choose between maintaining harmony and taking a stand. It is a timely, resonant piece about responsibility, courage, and the cost of both action and silence.

ABOUT THE ROLE:

• This is an unpaid internship available for college credit. 
• We highly value your time, energy, and labor so every effort will be made to find a collaborative & supportive balance in our workflow to keep it sustainable! Likely <10 hours/week (averaging 3hrs) as needed, structured to your availability as much as possible.
• We are seeking assistance with basic graphic design, photo curation, writing/editing copy, posting & engaging on Instagram (or other socials if you're interested), and related administrative organization.
• Additional tasks may include photo/video capture, editing videos (horizontal OR vertical), email marketing, and/or website updates. Additional task assignments would be based on provided skills, production needs, and personal interest.
• Primary platforms currently in use include Canva & Instagram, but experience with other design, marketing, or social media platforms also welcome.
• We will do our best to delegate specific tasks & timelines, but please note that the team mostly works asynchronously so proactivity and self-motivation is a must.

WHAT YOU'LL BRING TO THE TABLE:

• Experience with Google Suite (Calendar, Drive, Sheets, Docs, etc.)
• Experience with Canva, Adobe Illustrator a plus
• Experience posting & engaging through Instagram, TikTok or other social media platforms a plus
• Ability to facilitate and maintain the organization of relevant files, ideas, communication threads, and timelines, currently done through Google Suite
• A proactive, self-motivated, go-getter attitude (which also means asking for clarification/support when needed!)
• Ability to hold compassion, patience, and curiosity in navigating difficult topics such as race, religion, freedom of speech, etc. as these themes are central to the production
• Other desirable skills include email marketing, website editing, photography, videography, photo editing, video editing
• Ability to be in-person in NYC (especially April-May) is preferred but not required
• Don't worry about a whole formal cover letter - even a few sentences are appreciated just to learn about your interest in the role & share your personality!

WHAT YOU'LL WALK AWAY WITH:

• Theatrical & marketing experience (obviously)
• A portfolio of work to show off your skills (we'll do our best to cater to what this means for you!)
• Bragging rights from working on a professional WORLD PREMIERE - each script only gets ONE shot to premiere which is often memorialized in print for future productions to know their roots. Seriously, it's cool stuff.
• Professional connections to many theatrical creatives
• A relationship with producing company Unlimited Stages - We host regular artistic opportunities such as cold read script & actor submissions, variety shows, and more as we continue growing. Once you've worked with Unlimited Stages, you're part of the company and will always be invited back!

TIMELINE OF PROCESS:

• Early January: Interview/select 1-2 interns 
• January: Onboard and get interns up to speed on current design & marketing efforts. Work to hand off projects, aiming to get the bulk of planning & templates completed before the college semester picks back up!
• February: HUGE fundraising push, utilizing the pre-made plans & templates
• March: Continued fundraising, shifting to build hype for the upcoming show - casting announcements, creative team concepts, etc.
• April: (Hopefully) fundraising slows down, full steam ahead selling tickets, rehearsal and actor-oriented content
• May: Show time! Keep pushing ticket sales, integrate show clips & audience engagement into our materials
• June: Wind-down, polishing off the content we captured and thanking everyone for their support. Potentially shifting to hype up next steps for GO DOWN, MOSES (whatever they may be)
