Interns are the cornerstone of the company. Applications are live for Year 12!
Interns have always been at our core, assisting in everything from class supervision to Stage Management, Music Direction, Design, Choreography, and even Directing the Middle School Mainstages! There are opportunities in every corner of the company. We believe in providing these experiences so that students can discover their passions and interests. Many have been surprised to learn what they are capable of! With the encouragement and guidance of our expert Team, students can feel confident in their roles regardless of how much prior experience they have had.
When Jennifer Keating (Founder and Director) was 15, the director of her high school musical needed to quit halfway through the process. Because she had been in a theatre arts company for nearly 10 years, the cast + crew turned to her. Suddenly she was directing the musicals at her high school, something she didn't even realize she was capable of doing. Because of this experience, she has built internships into the company since its inception. There's a YouTube playlist here that dates back to 2014, showcasing so many students who have benefited from this program.
