• Oversee individual donor benefit fulfillment
• Assist with fundraising and donor events by tracking RSVPs and event set up and breakdown
• Be available for potential evening and weekend commitments for select performances and development events
• Assist with tracking departmental expenses

• Relevant experience in non-profit fundraising, marketing, relationship management, or related fields
• Knowledge of or interest in basic accounting principles
• Expert attention to detail and accuracy
• Excellent organizational skills
• A proactive, professional attitude and a mind for service
• An appreciation of how your ideas and efforts contribute to the overall success of your colleagues, the department, and the organization

Additional skills and experience that are preferred, but not required, include experience with Tessitura or another Customer Relationship Management (CRM) platform and proficiency in Microsoft Office.

Finally, the ideal candidate will demonstrate a strong passion for TheatreSquared’s mission and vision, as well as a dedication to the company’s principles of inclusion, diversity, equity, anti-racism, and access. 

TheatreSquared celebrates diversity and commits to creating an inclusive environment for all employees. The company’s goal is to remove barriers to employment that are faced by racialized groups and encourage applicants of all genders, abilities, and ethnic, socio-economic, religious, and educational backgrounds. TheatreSquared believes that a team with a variety of perspectives and skills is critical to our growth as an organization, and we seek to recruit, develop and retain the most talented people from a diverse candidate pool.

THEATRESQUARED MISSION

We believe that theatre—done well and with passion—can transform lives and communities.

THE COMPANY & REGION

TheatreSquared’s signature offering of bold new plays in an intimate setting has driven its growth to become the state’s largest theatre, offering more than 300 performances annually and operating on a $6 million annual budget. The playwright-led company is one of mid-America’s leading laboratories for new work, having launched more than 60 new plays. Its work has received critical acclaim from The New York Times (“Best Theater of 2020” list), The Wall Street Journal (“an outstanding drama company”), NPR’s All Things Considered, and the American Theater Wing, founder of the Tony Awards.

TheatreSquared’s home—winner of the 2020 American Architecture Award and the AIA NY Honor Award—is a cultural landmark. T2’s hometown of Fayetteville is annually ranked among the top ten US News and World Report “Best Places to Live,” a progressive, bike-friendly, and scenic college community near several Fortune 100 world headquarters. TheatreSquared’s remarkable expansion—with a twentyfold increase in audience in just the past decade— parallels the emergence of its home region as a booming population center and destination for American art.

Offering far-reaching access and education programs and an open-all-day gathering space, TheatreSquared remains rooted in its founding vision, that “theatre—done well and with passion—can transform lives and communities.”
