Live theater is for everyone
At the John Gore Organization, we believe that live theater is for everyone. We seek to create opportunities for all and improve access to the theater. We recognize that our role within the theatrical industry presents us with unique responsibilities and opportunities to help shape a more equitable future. From the stories that unfold on stage to the artists who tell them, from the visionaries that drive our industry to the audiences we entertain, it is imperative that Broadway becomes wholly and thoroughly representative of the society it serves.
Our Company
We believe an inclusive work environment is critical. We recognize that our success can be achieved through individuals who are encouraged to contribute their own unique skills in a trusting, safe and collaborative environment.
We prioritize professional development by being a learning-focused organization. Our JGO Learning Series creates new pathways for career advancement and fosters connection between coworkers. Our comprehensive, paid internship and apprenticeship programs gives students and young professionals a chance to explore careers in theater administration.
Our Audiences
We seek to build and nurture an audience base that is representative of the communities we serve through a diversity of programming. Our editorial coverage celebrates and elevates Broadway while entertaining and informing both dedicated fans and casual theatergoers, providing a gateway to Broadway for all. It is our goal to present stories that represent the wide range of the human experience.
We provide educational engagement activities, both in the classroom and at our theaters in order to develop the audience of tomorrow.
