The goal of the Arena Stage Internship program
is to cultivate the next generation of theater
professionals by providing the highest standard
of training through immersion in the art and
business of producing theater. Arena Stage
provides in-depth, hands-on experiences with
seasoned professionals in the areas of artistic
and technical production, arts administration
and Community Engagement.
The Arena Stage Internship program demonstrates
its dedication to quality training through the
program’s flexibility. The program is designed
for undergraduate or graduate students, recent
graduates and career changers interested in
pursuing a career in the professional theater.
Time periods for internships are flexible;
however, all internships are full-time.
Internships are available on a semester or
full-season schedule, although some may follow a
production cycle of six to eight weeks.
Consecutive internships in two departments, as
well as summer internships, may be arranged.
Arena Stage will provide a modest stipend. Arena
Stage may also assist in locating housing, but
housing and transportation is ultimately the
responsibility of the intern. College credit may
be arranged through the student’s sponsoring
institution.
Arena Stage encourages applicants from all areas
of the United States and strongly encourages
minority applicants.
