Summer Internships
The Adirondack Theatre Festival’s professional internship program offers intense, hands on educational opportunities for current students and early career professionals seeking an introduction to careers in the professional theatre. Our goal is to provide interns with practical experience in the shop, rehearsal room, backstage and in the front office as well as valuable networking opportunities with working theatre professionals.
Internships are available in the following areas:
ARTS ADMINISTRATION
Artist & Staff Hospitality (1 intern)
Fundraising & Finance (1 intern)
Marketing & Audience Development (1 intern)
PRODUCTION
Production Assistant (2 interns to work as assistants to the stage managers)
Scenery (1 intern)
Electrics (1 intern)
Sound (1 intern)
Props/Paint (1 intern)
Wardrobe (1 intern)
Please note, while interns are assigned specific departments and mentors, they are also expected to work outside their chosen area of expertise. We strive to provide each intern with a well-rounded experience designed to inform them of all the various jobs required to mount a professional production. ATF does not offer performing internships.
