The October Issue seeks publishing staff
Attention female improvisers! The October Issue seeks applications for its Managing Editor and Publisher roles. These jobs will help support the director and cast create the original production, set to debut in September 2015.
About The October Issue: The October Issue is WIT’s contribution to the Women’s Voices Theatre Festival. The show’s all-female ensemble will create an improvised women’s magazine that gives an unvarnished look at life from a woman’s perspective. The show will feature articles, interviews, quizzes, photoshoots, horoscopes, advice columns, and a lot of unnecessary tips. Audience members will watch as the cast flips through the pages of a completely made up publication and bring it to life with their ideas and suggestions! Inspired, fun and Photoshop-free, this magazine will be held to the highest standards of keeping it real and keeping it really hilarious.
