Summer Internship - Music Theatre of CT

THE MTC INTERNSHIP

The MTC Internship consists of a summer of learning, teaching, and creating. Throughout the entirety of the internship, your point person will be MTC’s Administrative Manager who will schedule you to work in the different areas of a non-profit, professional theatre. The internship is split into three parts: administration & box office, education, and production. The administration & box office piece of your internship will have you work directly with the Administrative Manager and will require you 2-3 hours a day with occasional weekends where you will run the box office. The education aspect will have you assist with our summer workshops for grades 2-8 and grades 6-12 and will be almost every week for 2-3 hours a day in addition to administration & box office. Finally, the production part of the internship will occasionally replace the administration & box office part and have you working with MTC’s professional costume designer, props designer, scenic designer, or director of production.



The MTC Internship will be Mon-Fri starting at 9am. You will also be required to attend all weekend performances and act as the box office manager or head usher. Some weeks in the summer you may only be asked to come in for a few days rather than Mon-Fri. The MTC Internship will begin as soon as you are able and, if you are a college student, end when you must return to school, otherwise ending after the final summer production in late August. You will be paid a weekly stipend.



MTC is unable to provide housing.
