Attack Theatre: General Management Internship Job Description
Founded in 1994 by Michele de la Reza and Peter Kope, Attack Theatre fuses modern dance, original live music, and interdisciplinary art forms to create engaging dance performances. We currently operate with a staff of two artistic directors, an executive director, seven administrative employees, and a company of dancers, teaching artists, musicians, and designers working interdependently.
General Management Internships at Attack Theatre are ideal for individuals interested in the operations and administration of a dynamic performing arts organization.

Attack Theatre is a Pittsburgh-based dance company that creates work at the intersection of art and community, resulting in programs that are personal, authentic, welcoming, and fearless. Under the artistic direction of Peter Kope and Michele de la Reza, the company maintains a commitment to remain curious in our investigation of new ideas and productions; to collaborate through deliberate, interdisciplinary partnerships; and to connect with local and global communities, providing accessible, creative learning opportunities. Attack Theatre's new home in the heart of Lawrenceville offers performances, classes, and community events, and strives to be an inclusive epicenter of dance, learning, and community partnerships. Rooted in reflection, investigation, and imagination, Attack Theatre conducts hundreds of arts education programs in school and community settings each year, supporting creative learning and wellness for participants of all ages.

  • Direct interaction with varied artists, designers, teachers, and technicians
  • Opportunities to give creative insights or feedback regarding potential projects/performances, education, marketing, and sponsorship strategies
  • Opportunities to interact with professionals in the nonprofit sector, with emphasis on the arts
