Internships / Apprenticeships

Tommy O’s Northern Stars Playhouse is unique among summer theaters, not only for its efforts to combine professionals and amateurs alike in plays and musicals, but also for its comprehensive educational opportunities. These opportunities are available to people of all ages and include apprenticeships, internships, and lessons and workshops.

APPRENTICESHIP

For students and adults who have an interest in theater and want to learn more about what goes on behind-the-scenes. They have the option of choosing one area in particular to dedicate their time. Apprentices will spend 5-10 hours per week engaged in projects and study. It is an unpaid position; however, what apprentices earn in experience and knowledge is of far more value than money. Areas of apprenticeship include stage management, lights/sound, scenic, wardrobe, facility, box office, administrative, and marketing.

INTERNSHIP

To be considered for the internship, one should be a high school graduate, college student or recent graduate who is pursuing a career in theater or the performing arts. High school students of superior caliber will also be considered. Interns will be engaged both onstage and off, and like apprentices, will choose an area of production for in-depth study. Interns will commit 10-20 hours per week to projects and study and may receive a small stipend for their involvement.
