Roundabout Theatre Company is now accepting applications for Cohort 7 of the Theatrical Workforce Development Program (TWDP). The program, open to applicants through June 2, trains and places young adults in professional technical theatre positions.
The 2024 TWDP is expanding to include a new Administrative Fellowship, which aims to increase access to careers in the arts and entertainment industry. A cohort of six administrative fellows will work full-time over a 12-month period, and receive an hourly wage, health benefits, cost-of-living scholarships, local transportation subsidy, and training and professional development. Fellows will work in the Artistic, Development, Education, Finance-Human Resources, Management, or Marketing departments.
“The goal of our Career Training programs is to offer pathways for dynamic theatre professionals, and we hope
this new iteration of TWDP will connect aspiring NYC based Arts Administrators to sustainable careers at
Roundabout and New York City’s vital arts and culture sector,” Jennifer DiBella, Roundabout’s Director of
Education, said in a statement. "Roundabout’s 2016 launch of the Theatrical Workforce Development Program: Technical Fellowship
has already had an impact on the field. Out of 114 fellows from six cohorts, 78% are working in the field and
many are in the Broadway and Off-Broadway theatres. The new Administrative Fellowship program aims to have similar results. The program will train fellows and provide work-based learning experiences, positioning them
to work across the culture sector at the conclusion of the fellowship."
The TWDP is open to any NYC resident with at least a high school diploma or equivalent who is eligible to work in the U.S. Individuals from underrepresented communities in the arts are strongly encouraged to apply.
