SpeakEasy Stage Company - Arts Administration Internship - Fall 2023

SpeakEasy internships are an excellent way to learn more about the workings of a mid-sized professional theatre company through hands-on experience and mentorship.

All internships are available for one semester (Fall/Spring/Summer) or are project based. Internships are a minimum of 15 hours per week, come with a travel stipend, and do not carry promise of employment after completion, though they may be used for school credit (if your college permits). In addition, we are happy to offer free tickets to our shows and events to all interns, along with full access to other company events whenever possible.

Arts Administration Internship:
Administrative Interns gain exposure to all facets of managing a mid-sized non-profit theatre company, working closely with the Artistic, Development, Marketing, and Production departments as they:
  • Prepare dramaturgical and marketing materials for upcoming productions
  • Coordinate and assist with special events, readings, and benefits
  • Lay the groundwork for donor and audience engagement initiatives
  • Read and Assess play scripts for season consideration
  • Build relationship with audiences and volunteers

Interns will be expected to help with general office duties, and to take on and manage a wide variety of necessary tasks throughout the semester. Candidates with a passion and love of theatre, solid writing and computer skills, and an outgoing and enthusiastic personality will be the best fit for this position.

Arts Administrative internships are directly supervised by Alex Lonati, Community & Artistic Programs Manager.

To apply, please submit:
  • A cover letter indicating your areas of interest and experience, your preferred start date, weekly availability (if available), and whether you plan to receive college credit for your internship
  • A resume (or resumes) detailing both your administrative and theatrical experience
  • The names and contact information of three (3) references
  • A writing sample 1 to 2 pages max (optional)
