Looking for a Fundraising Guru!
ORGANIZATION: SEEING PLACE THEATER INC
Please visit the new page to apply.
We’re a 10 year old independent theater in NYC who recently got our own 501(c)3 status after being with a fiscal sponsor for 8 years. We're looking for someone with fundraising experience to help guide us into our next 10 years of service to our community. We would also be excited to meet someone with grant writing skills who can help us develop our skills in this area.
Our name "The Seeing Place" is the literal translation of the Greek word for theater: " theatron...the place where we go to see ourselves." The Seeing Place is a trained, actor-driven ensemble and our mission is to create master theater, reinterpreted live, to make it relevant and accessible to audiences today. We live up to our name by engaging our community through theater as a vivid conversation about what makes us human. Connection. Learning. Humanity. That’s what "theatron" is all about.
Being a core volunteer, you will be part of an exciting time in our history where we're actively taking our company to the next level. Our main challenge: What worked for us five years ago is not working as well for us now, and we'd like to inject our fundraising plan with a little oomph from a professional.
We have strong support from our community and excellent organization within our all-volunteer staff and ensemble. The right candidate will be full of passion and longs to be a part of theater that makes a difference. Check us out online at www.seeingplacetheater.com and on social media @TheSeeingPlace.
Thank you so much for your interest. We look forward to hearing from you!

Mission Statement
Our name "The Seeing Place" is the literal translation of the Greek word for theater (theatron): ". . . the place where we go to see ourselves." The Seeing Place is an actor-driven company dedicated to exploring the intersection between the actor's voice and the playwright's words, by reinterpreting masterful works live and in the moment to make them relevant, visceral, truthful, and accessible to a modern audience. We live up to our name by engaging our community in a vivid conversation about what makes us human. Connection. Learning. Humanity. That's what theater is all about.
Description
The Seeing Place is an actor-driven company: built by actors and managed by actors to be a base for actors who want to hone their craft in a creative and supportive artistic home, resulting in unparalleled dedication and excellence.
Theater is society's hands-on, in-person study of human behavior. By placing a keen focus on behavioral storytelling, The Seeing Place has become well-known for intense and intimate ensemble work. Productions are rehearsed in a structured, organic manner, involving improvisation and heavy script analysis.
In performance, emphasis is placed on key elements of acting craft, allowing actors the freedom to live and discover the story, moment to moment, with the audience on a nightly basis. Many audience members have marveled that they feel like a fly-on-the-wall observer of a real event, not only witnessing it but living through it with us.
We accomplish this by training our ensemble artists on a weekly basis, not only in the artistic elements of acting but also the overall craft of theater-making, including producing (fundraising, marketing, budgeting), community outreach (social media, audience development) and stage craft (props, costumes, set construction.)
We have a keen focus on working with artists of all types, particularly those that are in minority groups - women, seniors, people of color, LGBTQ, and those with disabilities.
