A New Initiative for Black Undergraduate Students in Partnership with CUNY

Black Theatre United (BTU), a non-profit organization that helps protect Black people, Black talent, and Black lives in theatre, announces the launch of the Broadway Marketing Internship Program, a summer-long initiative that provides 8 paid internships for undergraduate education students. The pilot program is a first-of-its-kind collaboration between Black Theatre United, CUNY, and four of New York’s top live entertainment advertising and marketing agencies: Serino Coyne, AKA, RPM and Situation Interactive. With a strong focus on and commitment to increasing access for Black, Indigenous, and students of color who have an interest in this arena, yet open to all, this program will provide a learning space to develop a deeper understanding of how the industry operates by working with the various companies and organizations that keep Broadway moving. Two students will be placed with each of the four participating agencies for the eight-week paid program, which runs June 27 – August 19, 2022. Applications are available now at BlackTheatreUnited.com and are due by Monday, March 28, 2022.Read More »Black Theatre United Presents the Broadway Marketing Internship Program
