While we are unable to fully commit to our 2021 summer plans until we see how things progress over the winter, we are currently planning to produce a small summer main stage season, as well as our IMPACT Touring Children’s Theatre Program. A cohesive COVID plan will be in effect in order to keep our staff tested and contained from possible exposure. We will update this page with more specifics by March. Please see below for specific positions and submission information.

Internships go to younger candidates looking for more hands-on experience in a particular field. Internships are paid $150/week, plus shared housing in a dorm-like setting.
In general, Tech candidates should be strong at time management, as shows go up in 7-14 days, be self-motivated, good at taking direction, communication, and collaboration. While there is always a day off each week, it differs week to week and depending on the position. We work very hard to ensure a great summer experience and not burn out our staff, however, it is important that applicants understand that tech positions often have to pull late nights and long hours during tech weeks.
