Main Street Theater BIPOC Fellowship Program
Main Street Theater’s Fellowship Program is a paid artistic leadership development program for early-career BIPOC individuals. Fellows will be assigned to one production either with the MainStage or Theater for Youth programs in their area of interest (Directing, Design, or Stage Management) while being given access to additional professional development opportunities within the Main Street Theater organization. Applications open January 1, 2023.
In addition, Fellows will participate in cohort meetings led by Main Street Theater’s Artistic Inclusion and Community Engagement Director. As part of the Fellowship cohort, participants will receive hands-on experience and mentorship from accomplished Houston-based theater professionals. Through this program, Fellows will develop important leadership skills and build a network for their future work.
