Job description

Let’s Go Eco is a field trip concert series built around our original read/rap-along children’s books. Designed for 1st–3rd graders, our shows combine entertainment, education, and eco-philanthropy — every ticket and book sold helps fund real-world environmental projects like, solar systems and water desalination systems at schools around the world.

We’ve educated and empowered 1.5 million students through 3,000+ school assemblies as The EcoHero Show. Now, we’re scaling to a national theatre model — and we need a logistics-obsessed, operations-savvy, theatre-booking wizard to help us bring that vision to life.

Role: Theatre Event Director

(Internally known as our "Let’s Go Eco Theatre Wizard")

This is a high-autonomy, results-focused contractor role. You’ll be responsible for identifying, routing, securing, and coordinating theatre venues across the U.S. — starting with 20 venues for Spring 2026 and scaling toward 500+ by the 2028 school year.
