Encouraging Signs In Theatre Internship Programs

Butts In the Seats: American Theatre had some encouraging news about a trend to improve summer theatre internship programs. The need for this was seen last year as interns and other staff were walking off the job at some of the most prestigious gigs in the country. A number of theatres are focused on making the experience more accessible, shifting from models where interns paid to participate to ones where they received pay as well as travel and housing.
