Internship Opportunity

Chicago Childrens Theatre is now accepting applications for its Fall 2008 Internship Program! An internship with Chicago Childrens Theatre offers real-world responsibility and experience with a professional Equity theatre company. An internship at CCT not only provides valuable connections in the Chicago theatre community, but also offers practical knowledge thats often missed in a university education setting. Interns can expect to be an integral component in their department, and many will have direct contact with the artists, organizations and corporations with whom CCT is allied.

The goal of Chicago Children's Theatre is to produce meaningful, enlightened and imaginative year-round programming for both children and families. We are looking for applicants interested in aiding Chicago Childrens Theatres mission to enrich our community through diverse theatrical programming that engages and inspires the child in all of us.

Chicago Children's Theatre offers both internships and fellowships. Internships are generally no less then 15 hours a week and are available for college credit. Fellowships are generally 35-40 hours a week and are compensated through a stipend or hourly wage. See position descriptions for more information. All interns must have exceptional interpersonal, organizational, and writing skills along with a working knowledge of Microsoft Office (Word and Excel required; Powerpoint preferred). To apply, please see the attached application form and instructions.

Fall internships will begin September 1 and conclude on December 15, 2008. The application deadline is July 31, 2008. All dates are flexible based on availability. Further, a few internships are project-specific and follow different schedules than our regular cycles. Please refer to the attached descriptions for details.
