It's So Hard To Say Goodbye

As the summer draws to a close, The Shubert Organization bids farewell to another outstanding cohort of summer interns. This year, we were fortunate to welcome four talented individuals into our teams across Facilities, Marketing, Theatre Management, and Ticketing.
At Shubert, interns don’t fetch coffee or file paperwork—they're embedded within their departments, contributing meaningfully and making tangible impacts.
​
Janai Chambers – Theatre Management
Janai dove headfirst into the world of Theatre Management. She explored union contracts, gained hands-on experience with Shubert’s payroll systems, and quickly proved herself capable and confident. After shadowing veteran House Manager Kenny, Janai was trusted to take charge of the theater during an evening performance. She opened the house for patrons, collaborated with Stage Management to ensure an on-time curtain, and calmly handled customer concerns.

Julia Purdy – Ticketing
As part of her internship project, Julia conducted a comprehensive seating audit across our 17 Broadway theatres, focusing on accessibility and sightlines. She developed detailed visual charts categorizing seats based on key factors such as proximity to aisles versus walls, stair access, and potential obstructions. Her work provides a valuable, data-driven reference that will streamline future ticketing builds and sightline evaluations – critical components in the production lifecycle of every show.

Evelyn McLaughlin - Facilities
Evelyn was a great candidate whose willingness to shadow Anthony on his day to day activities in Shubert’s different buildings.  She reviewed plans and specifications on projects occurring at the Imperial Theatre, 520 8th Ave and Sardi’s Building.  It was a great learning experience for her to see how different consultants, subcontractors and Shubert members interact and problem solve through issues.

Christina Rego – Marketing  
This summer, Christina supported the launch preparations for Shubert Marketing and Business Development’s new Broadway media and marketing products. She worked on developing agency-facing decks and pricing sheets, drafting product talking points, and coordinating scheduling for our upcoming agency “road show.” As a Psychology and Theatre major, Christina also helped shape presentation hooks tailored to how each agency positions its unique role in the Broadway ecosystem. She brought focus and flexibility to a fast-paced summer, and her contributions helped set the stage for our fall rollout.
