It’s a daily practice and we are all here for that journey!Now in our 31st season, Shotgun is looking for Front-of-House staff, and production and design artists for our 2024 season.
We believe assembling a great team to tell the story is equally as important as selecting a great story.

Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) artists and artists of other underrepresented identities are encouraged to apply. In line with our commitment to “shift the spotlight,” our goal is to hire over 50% BIPOC in our seasonal hires of artistic, technical, stage management teams, as well as permanent administrative positions until BIPOC workers’ representation at our organization matches their percentage in the local labor force (Alameda County).
