SEEKING BOARD
MEMBERS
Mirrobox Theatre (a 501c3) is currently seeking up to nine volunteers to join the Board of Directors for a two-year term, renewable upon board approval.
Mirrorbox Theatre was founded in 2018, and to date is still the only company dedicated exclusively to presenting new plays in their Iowa premieres. Mirrorbox provides honoraria to all artists - as it has from its inception. But Mirrorbox has no paid staff. All organizational and administrative duties are handled on a volunteer basis.
Board members are expected to volunteer approximately 5 hours per month beyond attendance at the monthly meeting (held over Zoom).
All board members will be expected to contribute to an area of organizational need, providing a combination of execution, and leadership/coordination among fellow board and community members.
