Box Office Interns

The Contemporary American Theater Festival is dedicated to fearlessly producing new American theater. CATF hires approximately 50 interns to help bring these bold and compelling plays to life. As a member of the CATF Intern Company, you will have the unique and exciting opportunity to work in repertory. Spend your summer working with other emerging artists, who are just as passionate as you, and learning from top theater industry professionals.

Internships are designed for individuals who are 18 years or older.

CATF is committed to fostering a safe, supportive, and anti-racist environment. As such, ideal candidates for the Intern Company are team players. They work collaboratively, have a positive attitude, are motivated, and are supportive.

Festival staffing positions include free housing (shared suites with private bedrooms) and one day off/week. Two meals/day provided during tech. Travel is the responsibility of the staff person, but local train and airport pick-up provided. CATF is a whirlwind of activity with a company of over 100 individuals living and working together. Work ethic, sense of fun, and a commitment to the art is an absolute must.

Internships start as early as mid-May and run through the beginning of August.
