Program Overview - College Interns
Playwrights Theatre’s 8-Week Summer Internship Program is a part-time, paid internship for college/university students majoring in theatre and/or theatre education who have completed their Sophomore, Junior or Senior year of their undergraduate carreer. Working with the Education Department Staff will provide candidates with the unique opportunity to enhance their studies with a practical, hands-on approach to arts education.
