Apply NOW to be the SATCo Play Series Assistant!

What is the SATCo Play Workshopping series? It is a weekly SATCo event led by Dani Snyders-Blok that encourages playwrights and actors to engage in workshopping new plays. The series takes student play submissions (separate from our season selection) and pairs them with student actors to be read aloud, discussed, and performed to a small audience. It is an opportunity to develop new or completed works in a low stress environment.

What would the SATCo Play Series Assistant do? Assist in the facilitation of workshops- including daily set up, email management and leading the weekly events. We are looking for someone who is an aspiring playwright, has an interest in engaging with the theatre and writing communities and will advocate for writers in the Phoenix department. We will prioritize someone who is interested in continuing this work next year as part of the SATCo board.

Applicants must be available Monday nights 6-10pm from January 5th to March 30th. Optional attendance includes November 17th and 24th from 6-10pm. Please specify any conflicts in your cover letter.

Please submit a resume of relevant experience and a cover letter to google below!
