Theatre Under The Stars
Title: Associate, Marketing
Summary: The Associate, Marketing is responsible for the research, design, and implementation of an on-line Educational Study Guide program to be utilized by schools throughout the Greater Houston Area as part of TUTS Outreach program. Theatre Under The Stars (TUTS) is a 40—year-old non-profit 50 1(c) 3 company specializing in the art of the American Musical Theatre. This internship will focus on one project that will expose the individual to the Marketing and Education/Outreach functions within a non-profit.
Scope: TUTS has had an extensive Education and Outreach program for many years. As many school districts decrease their finding for the arts, non-profits such as TUTS must attempt to fill in the gaps. One small but critical way to do that is by providing on-line Study Guides for each Production during our season, These Study Guides can be accessed and printed from our website by teachers/instructors at their discretion. The Study Guides provide a synopsis of the story line, historical perspective of the times when the show was originally produced as well as additional resources to be accessed. Sometimes the Study Guides can include informational games relevant to that production.
