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 Fall & Spring Internship Program. Internship length can be tailored to each intern, but the Summer Program is typically May-August, the Fall Program is September-December, and the Spring program is 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. If you don’t see an internship that matches your area of interest, don’t be afraid to inquire about a custom internship in your desired department — we are always open to creating learning experiences for students with a passion for the arts.

Thank you for your interest!
