The Shakespeare Theatre Company in Washington DC, a LORT B+ Regional theatre specializing in classical theatre, is starting to look for 2 (possibly 3) stage management interns for the 2009/2010 season.
Stage management interns work as part of 4 or 5 person SM team, and will be assigned a variety of duties in rehearsal, tech and performance. Shows are large classical works - in the past with casts up to 50 people and technical, complicated productions.
Ideal candidate has a willingness to learn, strong team member skills, strong leadership abilities, strong experience in stage management in university or equivalent experience. Sense of humor and strong people skills are a must. Strong eye for details, especially in paperwork needed.
As I run the stage management program, I can answer any basic questions, but for more info, follow the link below . . .
