Internships
Interns at Legacy Theatre are invited to attend weekly meetings, receive hands on experience in a nonprofit, small regional theatre, and have the opportunity for job-shadowing and mentoring. Interns can also receive tickets to Legacy Theatre productions, subject to availability.
Applications are currently being accepted for Legacy’s Summer and Fall Internship Program. Internship length can be tailored to each intern, but the Summer Program is roughly May-August, the Fall Program is roughly September-December, and the Spring program is roughly January-April. You may specify particular areas of interest (social media, costumes, run crew, etc.) in your cover letter, as well as your general availability, and whether or not you will be completing the internship for credit.
Thank you for your interest!
