Folger Theatre is a professional AEA theater which prohibits discrimination of any kind. We are committed to diversity and creating a safe, equitable, and inclusive workplace full of arts practitioners from all ethnicities, gender identities, ages, and disabilities. We strive for our stages and staff to mirror the wonderfully diverse community in which we live. We promise to intentionally make steps in building a more equitable artistic community and encourage you to check out the work that the Folger Shakespeare Library and Folger Theatre are doing to support this.
Health & safety: The health and well-being of all staff, contractors, and visitors is our top priority. While the Folger no longer requires masks or vaccinations (except for AEA spaces), we support and encourage individuals to take the safety precautions they are most comfortable with, and we ask that individual choices are respected. As we wrap up construction and move to work more consistently on-site this summer, the Folger will continue to review and update polices, in conversation with our staff.
Compensation:
Fee is paid per production and is competitive. Candidates will be notified of pay upon scheduling of a phone screening.
