JOB DETAILS:

This position involves designing and creating content for Black Cat’s social media and newsletter (sent every 6-8 weeks), as well as maintaining and updating the Black Cat website. Examples of assets created could include, but are not limited to: casting announcements, production/ season announcements, fundraising initiatives, graphics including show photos and reviews, etc. All these tasks are done in collaboration with the Artistic Director and other company members as needed. 

Desired Qualifications:

• Experience with the following:

• graphic design (i.e. PhotoShop, Canva, ProCreate, or similar)

• website editing/maintenance (Squarespace-specific experience a plus!)

• newsletter software (i.e. MailChimp or similar)

• social media management (active platforms include Instagram and Facebook)

• copywriting

• Aligned with BCT’s core values of financial transparency, queering theatre, and fostering community through education

• Additional qualifications welcomed but not required: photography, PhotoShop, videography

• Note that BCT does not support the use of generative AI and will not consider applicants who produce materials with generative AI programs. 

Workload:

This position requires 10-15 hours a month. Additionally, BCT has company meetings every 4-6 weeks. BCT currently produces the following shows on an annual basis: 

• One (1) staged reading, typically in Jan/Feb 

• One (1) Staged Reading+, typically in April/May

• One (1) full-length production, typically in August/ September

• One (1) annual fundraiser, typically in October

Note that we hope to expand to two (2) full-length productions in the 2028 calendar year.  

Compensation:

Black Cat Theatre is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization in its second year of operation; as such, BCT company member positions are currently 100% volunteer for general operations. However, company members are paid when involved in a production role on a specific project (i.e., our Director of Operations is not paid for that position, but is paid when acting as the stage manager on a show) and we are hoping to grow our annual operating budget to accommodate stipends for staff positions in the near future.

Benefits:

• Direct-to-callback when auditioning for BCT shows 

• BCT season selection input

• Free admission to BCT shows

• Shaping queer storefront theatre!

Interested candidates should fill out the above form and BCT will contact you for an interview if applicable. LGBTQIA2S+ and BIPOC applicants are strongly encouraged to apply! If you have any questions, or need assistance and/or accommodations with your application, please reach out to our Artistic Director, Cee Scallen, at artistic@blackcattheatrechi.com.
