While colleges and universities are on break for the summer, the learning continues at Playhouse on Park. Applications are currently being accepted for the Summer 2015 Internship Program. This program allows students and graduates to have a hands-on experience working in a professional theatre.

Internships are available in the following departments: Performance, Administration, and Production. Interns generally work full-time, which is six days a week for a 10-week period. A $100 stipend is included.

The start and end date is flexible: exact dates are determined by the intern’s school schedule and other previous commitments. Performance interns must begin on or before May 19, 2015

Each intern is assigned a staff member as a mentor. That mentor is ultimately responsible for overseeing the intern’s work, giving suggestions and guidance, and being available to answer questions. Each mentor will have a scheduled meeting with their intern at the midpoint and the end of their internship to review what is going well and where the intern needs to concentrate on improvement.

All applicants must be 18 years of age and must submit the following: a completed application form, a resume or CV, two letters of recommendation, a personal statement, and work samples for Costume, Stage Management, and Production positions (photocopies/digital images/DVDs encouraged). The deadline for applications is March 1, 2015.
