JOB AND VOLUNTEER OPENINGS
OVERVIEW OF THE ORGANIZATION
Crescent Moon Theater Productions (CMTP) has been a Bay Area–based performing arts company since 2018, creating work that uplifts true stories of resilience, belonging, and the shared human spirit. Over the past several years, we’ve grown from a small ensemble of artists into a community-rooted nonprofit producing deeply meaningful documentary and immersive theater.
Most recently, we’ve received grant support for two major projects:
WHAT WE CARRY, a documentary theater production that brings together refugees and U.S. veterans impacted by the same conflicts, exploring healing and reconciliation through shared storytelling.
THE HIDDEN NETWORK, an immersive audio and performance project unfolding in California’s redwood forests. It reveals the forest’s living wisdom through the voices of ecologists, Indigenous knowledge keepers, and artists.
These projects have positioned us for an exciting next chapter — one that calls for highly motivated, adaptable, and collaborative Production Assistants and Board Development Volunteers to help drive the productions and organize the behind-the-scenes details.
This is a pivotal and creative moment for our organization. We’re ready to move from a grassroots model to a thriving nonprofit that can sustain meaningful, socially engaged art for years to come.
If this speaks to you — or if you know someone who might be the right partner in this stage of CMTP’s journey — we would love to connect. To apply, please send a resume and cover letter to polina@crescentmoontheaterproductions.com by November 23rd, 2025.

This role sits at the intersection of storytelling, public relations, and community engagement. We’re looking for someone who can help shape and amplify real human stories with care, while building a strategic foundation for broader visibility as the project evolves into a full theater production.
Bay Area–based / Remote Friendly

Phase 2: Project Publicity (As Production Develops)
• Build and execute a broader press and publicity strategy for the theater production
• Pitch the project to media, cultural institutions, and national platforms
