Marketing & Development Internship (Spring 2025)

Paid • Remote • Approx. 10 hours/month

Little Shadow Productions is seeking a Marketing & Development Intern for the Spring 2025 semester. This internship supports our theatrical production work—including our award-winning touring production Aanika’s Elephants, the visually driven You Have Arrived, and several new works currently in development.

This position is ideal for students interested in arts administration, producing, and theatre marketing. We are especially looking for someone who enjoys organization, research, communication, and the behind-the-scenes operations that help a production company grow. This is not a performance or puppet-building internship.

The internship is remote. We meet once per month on Zoom; all other communication is by email. The time commitment is intentionally light to support students balancing coursework and rehearsals.

As our Marketing & Development Intern, you will support:

Marketing & Communications

Draft and schedule social media posts
Assist with email newsletters and promotional copy
Help with marketing campaigns for Aanika’s Elephants, You Have Arrived, and new works

Development & Administrative Support

Research presenters, festivals, academic partners, and funding opportunities
Assist with pitch materials, applications, and outreach lists
Update contact databases and internal project documents
Help track engagement metrics and audience insights

Creative & Producing Support (Non-Performance)

Conduct dramaturgical or contextual research for projects in development
Assist with artistic packets, residency applications, and other materials
Support general back-office workflow as projects evolve

Who We’re Looking For

A student who is:

Interested in producing, arts administration, or nonprofit development
A strong communicator with solid writing skills
Detail-oriented and reliable
Comfortable working independently
Curious about puppetry, visual theatre, and interdisciplinary performance

What You’ll Gain

Hands-on experience inside a small but nationally recognized production company
Insight into marketing and development processes that support professional touring theatre
Exposure to the creative development of Aanika’s Elephants, You Have Arrived, and upcoming projects
Mentorship and guidance around career paths in theatre and puppetry
