Production Assistants
Ma-Yi Theater Company
New York, NY

Ma-Yi Theater Company, one of the nation’s leading Asian American theater companies and a vital force in new play development, is seeking Production Assistants for a series of public engagement events in New York City, including readings, social gatherings, and symposia.

This is an exciting opportunity to work closely with a respected Off-Broadway theater company known for championing bold new voices and producing dynamic artistic and community-based events. Ideal for emerging arts workers, early-career producers, and highly motivated individuals eager to gain hands-on experience, this position offers meaningful exposure to the behind-the-scenes work that makes live events happen.

Production Assistants will play an essential role in supporting the planning and execution of these engagements. Responsibilities may include organizing event materials and supplies, assisting with set-up and strike, supporting venue operations, managing ticketing and audience check-in, running errands throughout New York City, and providing general event and production support as needed. Because this role includes public-facing responsibilities, candidates should be warm, polished, professional, and comfortable interacting with artists, guests, audiences, and community partners.

We are looking for individuals who are energetic, dependable, and eager to contribute wherever needed. Strong candidates will be highly organized, detail-oriented, resourceful, and able to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment. They should be team players with excellent communication skills, strong judgment, and a calm, can-do attitude under pressure. Proficiency in Microsoft Excel and Word is required. Prior experience in theater, live events, arts administration, hospitality, front-of-house operations, or production support is a plus.
