2050 administrative fellowship | 2025/26 season

The 2050 Fellowship is named in celebration of the US Census Bureau’s projection that by the year 2050, there will be no single racial or ethnic majority in the United States. This projection provokes thoughts at New York Theatre Workshop about the transformations that will take place in the American landscape—technologically, environmentally, demographically, economically and artistically—now and in the future. They are a catalyst for broader questions about the direction of the field. New York Theatre Workshop is working to reflect the evolving and beautifully diversifying society now—to ensure there’s space for those who will lead the future to build the skills they need now.

The program runs from September 8, 2025 - August 21, 2026.

• Commit to a yearlong part-time paid fellowship (27-30hrs/week, Monday-Friday) in one field of interest, including Artistic Workshop, Development, Education & Engagement, and Marketing.
• Work directly with the department head and their team in the respective area of focus.
• Attend a two-day intensive seminar where you’ll be introduced to the fellowship program, meet NYTW staff, and begin to develop your fellowship goals and plans.
• Take on significant responsibilities in your department, including day-to-day tasks and long-term collaborative and individual projects.
• Participate in monthly seminar meetings to discuss your work, share ideas, meet other professionals in the field and receive specialized career-development training.
