Working at BROS

The Baltimore Rock Opera Society is a passionate community of artists who create unforgettable experiences through live original rock theater. BROS was founded in 2007 by a small group of friends sitting in a basement dreaming of an impossibly enormous story that would be told through the awesome power of rock. The company is now composed of a diverse group of wildly talented artists from around Baltimore who join forces to create massive original shows.

This highly energetic group of actors, writers, designers, builders, musicians, and crafters bring forth incredible and unique live performances unlike anything in the region. Every year thousands of fans flock to shows, concerts and festival appearances to witness the city’s most collaborative, creative production troupe.

Your hybrid and flexible schedule consists of regular weekly meetings with staff. Board meetings (mostly remote) take place bi-monthly. Many meetings, rehearsals and production tasks will take place in early evening weekday time slots (between 6pm and 9pm) since some BROS employees and many of our volunteers work other daytime jobs, or on weekends and show dates. Independent work can be done remotely or at BROS Headquarters (2950 Loch Raven Rd, Baltimore, MD 21218) as preferred.
