Join our team
We are looking for a new Executive Director to co-lead The Realm and realize our mission of serving early-career playwrights along their journey, as well as nurturing and supporting new work for all audiences!
We love playwrights who dream big, take risks, and embrace theatricality.
We value imagination, bravery and intellectual curiosity.
We seek people who dare to ask the big questions, even if they don’t know the answer.
