For our 2008 season, on our main stage, we are looking primarily for female performers.  We do have a children's troupe forming in the fall, which will need both male and female performers. 

In terms of technical needs, we are looking for a stage manager, and individuals who are interested in costumes, sound, lighting and set construction.  If your resume is strong enough, and you demonstrate an appropriate level of expertise, you may have opportunity to design in one or more of these fields.

Our internship contracts will run approximately:

March 24 - June 1

May 26 - August 24

August 25 - December 21. 

It is possible to have the contract extended based on the needs of the theatre and the interest of the intern.  The dates may have some minor adjustments to correspond to academic calendars.

Technicians are asked to send a resume, cover letter, and three references.  Please include dates of availability and areas of interest or expertise.
