What We Do

Theatre of the Oppressed NYC (TONYC) partners with communities facing discrimination to inspire transformative action through theatre. Through partnerships with social service organizations, advocacy groups, neighborhood groups and city agencies, TONYC forms theatre troupes with community members who face pressing social, economic, and human rights issues. The troupes create and perform plays based on real-life struggles, engaging audiences in theatrical brainstorming - or Forum and Legislative Theatre - to creatively challenge systems of oppression. In 2018, our 7th year, TONYC moved into a new permanent home in midtown, and is working to transform the space into a true hub for our creative community. Find out more at www.tonyc.nyc

Work With Us

TONYC is seeking a Program Coordinator. This position works in collaboration with the Program Director, Operations Director, TONYC’s Jokers and community theatre troupes, and with external advocacy partners, to keep our programs and performances running smoothly with 10 popular theatre troupes, 20 facilitators and over 200 actors each year. We’re seeking an individual with a passion for arts and social justice, who enjoys communication (and follow-up) with artists, community organizations and performance venues, and tracking details across overlapping production schedules. TONYC is particularly seeking an individual bilingual in Spanish and English.

Join a team that values social action, creative problem-solving, and a lively work environment. Many of our administrative staff are also facilitators in our programs, and we are open to that possibility for this position as well. TONYC’s priorities include formalizing pipelines for leadership opportunities throughout the organization and strengthening our non-arts partnerships to amplify the impact of ongoing movements in NYC. TONYC seeks to reflect the politics and ethics of our programs throughout every aspect of our organization, which includes building a staff that is directly connected to, or impacted by, the issues we address in our plays.
