Rooted in HERE’s mission and values, the board and staff are invested in launching a new structure where HERE will be led by three Co-Directors. These three Co-Directors will all be part of the artistic life of HERE through the curation and support for HERE artists, and their ability to further the work, mission and reputation of HERE through their own artistic practice.

HERE is hiring two new Co-Directors to come into the organization starting in May/June 2024. The third Co-Director is Amanda Szeglowski, who until recently served as Associate Artistic Director, was previously a HARP artist at HERE, and who has been associated with the organization for 13 years.

Production Assistants will receive hands-on training in all areas of technical theatre (sound, lighting, carpentry, video, and costumes), in the form of load-ins, strikes, and providing assistance to the shows running in our two theatres. They work primarily with the Production Manager and Technical Director. They also assist with basic office duties, such as running errands, organization and cleaning of office spaces, creating documents, etc. We also accept interns to work solely on a specific production, acting as an assistant to a member of the production staff. Duties for this  include being in rehearsals and working backstage for tech and performances. Experience in technical theatre is a plus, but is not necessary. Hours vary .

Performance Technical Assistants will be assigned to a specific show coming into our theatres and work with them from load-in to strike. The HERE production staff will teach them how to work all of the equipment in the theatre, and then they will serve as a board operator for that show. This is a great way to learn the inner workings of a show and allow you to feel more involved with a performance. It also allows the technical assistant to increase their résumé. Hours vary , depending on the tech and performance schedule of each show. Some technical theatre experience required.
