Theatre Production/Production Management Internship - SpeakEasy Stage Co.
Production interns assist SpeakEasy’s production and stage management staffs as they coordinate, design and execute mainstage productions and special events. Interns have the opportunity to assist with multiple facets of a show, including:
· Stage Management
· Props
· Costumes
· Set Construction and Painting
· Lighting and Electrics
· Sound
· Load-in and Strike
Candidates should have some previous experience working backstage, as well as basic computer skills. Individuals with a passion for a specific discipline (stage management, or sound design, for example) are encouraged to apply and list their primary area of interest. Production Management internships are directly supervised by Dominique Burford, Production Manager.
SpeakEasy internships are an excellent way to learn more about the workings of a professional theatre company, through hands-on experience and mentorship. Our work environment is supportive and open, giving interns access to the multidisciplinary art of theatre management, which includes the rehearsal and production process, community outreach, development, marketing and general management.
Production Internships are available on a semester basis, for a full season (Sept – June), or on a production by production basis. Internships are usually 15-20 hours a week, with the specific hours to be fit around students’ class schedules. Interns are given a travel stipend, as well as free tickets to our shows and events.
To apply, please submit:
· A cover letter indicating your areas of interest and experience, your preferred start and end dates, and your weekly availability (if available)
· A resume (or resumes) detailing both your administrative and theatrical experience
· The names and contact information of three references
Application materials should be e-mailed to info@speakeasystage.com, with the position to which you are applying in the subject heading. Internship Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis, so early application is encouraged.
