The PUBLIC THEATER/ New York Shakespeare Festival, the nation's foremost theatrical producer of Shakespeare and new work, is seeking full-time summer production interns. Internships are available in lighting, sound, scenery, props, costumes, stage management, production management and general production. Interns will play a crucial role in the theater's activities and gain valuable firsthand experience by taking part in and observing the mounting of Public Theater productions including the 2014 season of Shakespeare in the Park. The level of responsibility entrusted to Public Theater interns requires that they be mature, self-reliant, good communicators, and able to work effectively in a highly collaborative environment. Each candidate will have the opportunity to work alongside the staff of the Public Theater's Production Department in implementing the designs of some of the industry's foremost theatrical designers. The summer season involves long hours mounting immense productions outdoors and offers fantastic resume building potential. Late nights, early mornings and weekends. Flexibility and a sense of humor are a must. We are dedicated to making each internship experience professional and educational. Internships can run between April 1st and September 1st depending on the internship type. Starting and ending dates are flexible; however interns must be available for the bulk of the summer. Conflicts for stage management internships are less flexible and may affect eligibility. Stipend is $25/day and interns are responsible for their own housing.
