Career opportunities
We rely on the talents of many artists and staff, both on and off the stage, to create powerful works of theater at the Guthrie. A variety of skills and roles are needed, and we offer full-time and part-time career opportunities.
The Guthrie is dedicated to building an equitable environment that is mixed across lines of difference. Acknowledging that there are many identities that are underrepresented in the theater overall, the Guthrie strongly encourages candidates who bring diversity of identity, experience and thought to apply.
