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.
