Mr. Ben Wisemann
Director
Henning Theatre
234 Maple Road
Cleveland, Ohio 44115
Dear Mr. Wisemann:
I recently became aware of an opening for a House Manager at Henning Theatre advertised in the
May issue of Art Search. Please accept my letter and resume as an application for the position. I
have a Bachelor of General Studies degree and a minor in Business Administration. My goal is to
obtain a position where I can combine my love for the arts, a well-rounded liberal arts education, and
my business knowledge.
As my resume indicates, I have worked hard to develop my professional skills in the area of business
management. Specifically, I served two summers assisting the manager of a large convention center
that held over 2,000 patrons. During that time, I was directly involved in attracting nationally known
entertainers to the center. I also scheduled events, performances, and employees. I also have
experience in a theatre setting, as I volunteered during numerous Kent State University theatrical
performances. My experience is broad - I sold tickets, assisted in fundraising, designed and
distributed publicity materials, and even participated in the excitement of the show by working as a
stagehand. I feel that I could easily combine my knowledge of and passion for the theatre with my
experience managing a large facility, which would make me an excellent candidate for the position at
Henning Theatre.
Additionally, my direct involvement as a performing artist in the Kent State University Choir has given
me a unique perspective to bring to the position. A good understanding of performers' needs,
together with my business experience, would allow me to be a part of the whole environment - a total
manager.
By virtue of my education and experience, I feel I am well qualified for this position. I would welcome
an opportunity to meet and discuss my qualifications. Being a part of a winning team is important to
me. I am impressed with the reputation of Henning Theatre and believe I could make a strong
contribution. Please contact me for an interview at your convenience. I will call you in ten days to
see if you have received my materials. Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Whitney McAllen
