The Internship Placement Process

Theatre / Production

Theater and performing arts dates back in history to 2500 BC. It is an adventure that requires both collective effort and individual achievement. A single production brings together the skills of performers, designers, playwrights, scene construction and lighting experts. Theater professionals love what they do, and so does their audience! Production is the backbone of each scene. Each carefully composed scene is framed, lit, and paced to bring meaning to the script. Every detail, from where the actors stand to the sound of rustling leaves, is the result of planning and cooperation.

As a CE theater intern, you could work in drama, comedy, or musical theater and work on various different aspects of production. You could collaborate with performers, directors, stage production professionals, or business managers who are all working in sync to bring the stage to life.

Past CE theater interns have:

  • Gained ownership of the stage management role
  • Shadowed the casting directors evaluating auditions
  • Creatively attracting guests to the shows with marketing and advertising campaigns
  • Assisted with lighting and technical aspects of shows
  • Had the opportunity to act and learn how to direct!
  • And much, much more...

Testimonials

I can’t believe how much responsibility I was given from the very start of the internship as stage manager. The entrusted me with everything! While it was a long to do list day after day, I felt very valued by my mentor and coworkers and now I feel experienced in stage management!
- Nancy
I now know how to bring an entire audience to a show, night after night. It takes a ton of work but for the sheer entertainment value, it is worth the applause alone
- Tristin
Usually with school I work very independently although working in a team, especially in Theatre was quite rewarding and fun, too. I wish I could work there year-round
