Now Hiring!

The OCP Board of Directors is seeking qualified candidate(s) to lead in the management of Old Colony Players. Previously, there has been one full-time position to manage Old Colony Players and its operations, however, the Board of Directors has decided that the position could possibly be split into two positions including: 1) Executive Director and 2) Production Manager based on applicants and their skillsets. 

*On the application, please complete all sections and give special thought to the question of which position you feel you are most qualified for or both.
