Administrative Interns - London

This is a voluntary position

Finborough Theatre Internship Programme.

We present new British writing, UK premieres of overseas drama, particularly from the United States, Canada, Ireland and the English-speaking world, music theatre and an idiosyncratic selection of unjustly neglected work from the last 150 years.

We focus not only on the play, but on the total theatrical experience - regularly attracting the finest emerging directors and designers to work with award-winning actors.

Administrative Interns

This internship offers experience of running a theatre including Box Office, marketing, PR and casting duties.

Responsible to: the Artistic Director

Responsibilities include:
1. Administrative Duties
2. General upkeep of a small, fast-paced office
3. Box Office Management
4. Casting (when required by the theatre's schedule). Specific duties include communicating with agents and artists, preparing audition materials, maintaining casting files, and attending casting meetings, readings, and plays.
5. Marketing / PR. Specific duties include maintenance of the Press List, overseeing and executing mailings and - in some cases - liasing with members of the Press.
6. Computer literate.

Person Specification:
1. Energetic individual with a passion for Theatre
2. Detail oriented
3. Able to work independently and under pressure. (Scant resources mean that supervision will often be minimal and so the ability to work independently is of paramount importance).
4. Able to take on additional tasks (however small they may be)
5. Excellent level of written and spoken English
6. Experience in a retail environment is desirable, but not essential.

Hours:
We can only accept interns who can work with us for at least a month. We prefer interns who can work at least a four-hour day on a daily basis, 4-5 days a week.
