Opening nights at Manhattan Theatre Club are celebratory evenings with a press line, speeches before and after the show, and opening night parties. As the Marketing Intern, I was required to attend each opening night and assist with VIP guests on the press line. I was also responsible for getting the step-and-repeat to the theatres on opening nights, as well as, setting it up. It is a tradition that the marketing department gets dinner with the press team during the show on opening nights. This was a great opportunity for me to network and learn from other professionals.
