Über neos Wanted:

Über neos act as direct liaisons between the Shakespeare Theatre Company and their college campuses by disseminating information about the Company's budget-friendly tickets, special events and audience-enrichment programming to their campuses.

What's in it for me?

Über neos receive complimentary tickets and invitations for themselves and a guest to donor-level events at the Theatre, including First Rehearsals, Invited Dress Rehearsals and Opening Night parties where they are invited to network with peers, local actors and Theatre staff.

Is being an über neo time consuming?

Über neos meet with Shakespeare Theatre Company staff twice a semester (usually a Sunday or Thursday evening) to see a performance, discuss the neos program and meet other über neos from area schools. There is no additional time commitment other than the time needed to post materials about student tickets. Über neos receive all materials necessary for on-campus distribution before the start of each show's run.

We're currently looking to fill über neos positions at the following colleges:

  • The American University
  • The Catholic University of America
  • University of the District of Columbia
  • Georgetown University
  • George Washington University
  • George Mason University
  • Howard University
  • University of Maryland-College Park
  • Prince George’s Community College
  • Montgomery College
  • The Corcoran School of Art and Design

How can I sign up?

We'd love to have you on our team! Students interested in becoming an über neo should email our neos staff at Neos@ShakespeareTheatre.org.Über neos for the Spring 2009 semester will be selected in January 2009 and will be notified via email. And if you missed the Spring 2009 deadline, don’t forget to sign up for Fall 2009 semester before August 2009!
