Nonprofit Seeking Producers and Arts Admininstrators
Amoeba is a nonprofit organization by and for emerging artists in NYC. Over the past three years we have rapidly evolved into a vital artistic incubator spanning multiple disciplines across the five boroughs. Amoeba’s seeks to build spaces where underrepresented artists can take bold creative risks without the burden of financial gatekeeping, and where local communities can access high-quality art in accessible spaces. We value process as much as the final product, ensuring that every laboratory, residency, and production serves as both a creative sanctuary and a professional launchpad for early-career creators. Our Emerging Playwrights and New Musicals Lab are quickly becoming sought-after resources for writers and composers looking to take their projects from initial drafts to stage-ready productions. This developmental ecosystem directly feeds into our public presentations, such as our sold-out mainstage premiere of the original play Skirts Off at the historic Episcopal Actors' Guild Hall. Our summer initiatives have historically brought high-quality art directly into public spaces, including free productions of Shakespeare’s The Tempest and As You Like It at the Denny Farrell Riverbank State Park. This is all paired with a series of mingles and professional development opportunities to create community and a potluck of resources for the community of emerging artists Amoeba serves.
As our organization grows, we are in search of several new staff members (1-3) to help accomplish Amoeba’s mission. These roles would take specific ownership of elements of the organization tailored to the individual and the cross-functionality that a small staff requires. These areas could include Producing, Production Managing, Marketing, Graphic Design, Content Creation, Arts Administration, Grant Writing, Event Planning, Fundraising, Budgeting, or Company Management. Though we are growing toward a paid staff structure, all of these roles will be done on a volunteer basis. The positions will have a flexible weekly hourly commitment of 5-10 hours entirely depending on the capacity of the individual.
Amoeba Productions is committed to embodying the diversity of our community and treating our collaborators with dignity and care. Creatives of all ethnicities, gender identities, and ages, as well as performers with disabilities, are encouraged to submit.
