Engagement & Development Director

Adams Theatre Company is a New Jersey 501(c)(3) Non-Profit Organization that was founded in 2020. Every summer we produce outdoor musicals featuring young talent, both onstage and behind the table. Through this, we aim to engage with the community, foster young voices, and create opportunities for accessible storytelling. We see our spaces as creative laboratories for young artists to explore their creativity and believe that everyone should get the opportunity to work in production roles, regardless of their age or identity.

As we are in our fifth year, we are expanding and making our Chicago debut! We hope to expand opportunities to playwrights through our “New Year, New Works” festival this coming January 2026. Additionally, we plan to expand our season to include a second summer outdoor musical in our new city.

To do this, we need your help! We are hiring for an Engagement & Development Director and a Director of Marketing to assist us in our upcoming growth year. Applications will be reviewed & interviews will be conducted on a rolling basis, but will close on November 24th.
