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, illuminating unseen stories of interconnection between humans and nature.

These projects have positioned us for an exciting next chapter — one that calls for two highly motivated, adaptable, and collaborative Production Assistants to help drive the productions and organize the behind-the-scenes details. There is a possibility for both roles to be filled by the same person, if it’s the right candidate.
We’re seeking someone(s) with experience and excitement about managing and producing small to medium-sized interactive theater events, including but not limited to:
-A three-day restorative justice retreat with filming component
-Fundraising events to cultivate donors and generate excitement for the projects
-Digital and print promotion (design skills and social media engagement)
-Organizational skills and systems creation

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 [email protected] by November 15, 2025.
