Laurel Players Theater Group

Los Angeles, CA 90020

November 2, 2008

Dear Selection Committee,

I am very interested in the position of Marketing Assistant with the Laurel Players Theater Group.

I have a strong background in performing arts administration and am eager to seek employment

that is in line with my career goals and experience. As a recent graduate, my interest in this

position is unique in that I am not solely seeking a job but am hoping to gain knowledge and form

a career path in theatrical marketing. I believe my recent graduation offers a fresh perspective on

internet networking and can present new ideas for reaching a younger audience with similar

interests.

I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Music and have over two years of experience assisting the Technical

Director of the Conservatory of Music at the University of the Pacific. In this position, I took part

in publicity campaigns for performances while providing administrative support to both the

technical team and the Dean of the Conservatory. Through this experience, I have developed

valuable skills in organization, advertising, meeting deadlines, multi-tasking, and prioritizing. I

believe these skills are directly transferable to the Marketing Assistant position.

I will be an asset to your marketing team as I have significant experience and a strong passion for

the performing arts. My motivation throughout college, earning high marks, being involved in

performances, working in the administration, and taking part in extracurricular activities, is

exemplary of my overall work ethic in the field of arts administration. Working in Patron Services

for the Los Angeles Symphony, I have developed excellent customer service and communication

skills; and my experience in the box office gives me a strong foundation in coordinating opening

nights and other special events for the theater. Other basic qualifications include familiarity with

Microsoft Office programs, knowledge of computer ticketing systems, fluency in Spanish, fast and

accurate typing, and experience with database entry.

I am a valuable candidate as I am a quick learner, dedicated, proactive, and eager to gain

knowledge and experience in theatrical marketing. Thank you for considering my application and

I look forward to receiving your response.

Sincerely,

April Wheeler
