SpeakEasy Stage - Production Management 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.
Production Management Internship:
Production Management interns assist SpeakEasy’s production management staff as they coordinate, design, and execute mainstage productions, special events and auditions. Interns have the opportunity to assist with multiple facets of the season, including:
- Hands-on work alongside technical and production management staff on our mainstage shows (when running)
- Coordinate schedules and meetings with production team
- Plan, organize, and execute load-in and strike of productions
- Maintain production stocks and supplies
- Attend rehearsals and design/production meetings as needed
Candidates should have some experience in theatre production (either professional, community, or educational), knowledge of Microsoft Office apps (especially MS Excel), as well as strong self-management and organizational skills.
Production Management interns are supervised directly by Dominique Burford, Production Manager and Claudia Bennett, Associate Production Manager.
