Initial interviews usually take place in April or May, and offers usually are extended in June. However, all arrangements for credit must be made by the intern. In return, interns are treated as members of our professional staff and receive the intensive hands-on experience crucial to a professional resume. Interns also are expected to attend weekly seminars to increase their understanding of the organization as a whole. These meetings provide the intern and her or his supervisor with a formal framework within which the intern's progress can be discussed, along with future expectations, projects, and goals.
Many interns supplement their stipends by working as bartenders in one of the theater's three cafes.
In 1997, Center Stage acquired three buildings a block away from the theater so that each of our interns could be housed in his or her own fully furnished efficiency apartment. During the extensive renovation of these historic buildings, a common room was created, and coin-operated laundry facilities were installed. Unfortunately, because of the time-consuming nature of securing visas for foreign students, we are unable to accept applications from outside the United States. To receive an internship application by mail, please contact Internship Coordinator Katharyn Davies . Preference is given to candidates with experience outside academic theater.
