Internship Program

Are you the kind of individual who sees opportunity and makes the most of it?

Our internship program comes in two flavors.
Summer only and
Full Season.

Summer internships begin Mid-May and end when the student needs to go back to school. They are focused one of two ways. The first is administrative, where the work is primarily with the administration of the theatre including box office, development, marketing, board relations, front of house and casting. The second is what we call a production intern. These positions do tech work, costume work, understudy and occasionally act, although this is usually rare and depends on the interns ability.

Full Season Internships begin Mid-May and run through Mid-November, although they can run longer depending on a variety of circumstances. For example, several of last season's interns are currently employed in other capacities during this Winter/Spring and performed major roles in our productions of Odd Couple, Loot, I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change and A Christmas Carol.

The Full Season Internship also focuses on administration and production with many of the same job assignments as listed for the summer interns. However, Full Season Interns usually have at least an undergraduate level of college and are occasionally hired specifically for acting assignments. Work weeks are typically 60 hours and sometime longer during opening weeks and there is always at least one day off each week. Those interested in directing have an opportunity to Assistant Direct productions. Performers and technicians who have an eye towards directing are excellent candidates.

The Opportunity is there for you to make the most out of your internship. The more initiative an intern shows the more responsibility they are given.

In past seasons our intern company has created and produced off night programming. Past interns have directed on the mainstage, written plays for our childrens' programs, composed music, music directed and designed and technical directed. Focus is also given to career advancement and how to prepare for the marketplace.

Opportunities exist for interns to make their mark and help move the company forward while advancing their careers.

If you want a job that will make a difference and if you want to make a difference in yourself and your career, check us out!
