Production Management Intern

Application Process The application process for our Non-Profit Business Management Internship Program includes completion of the application, reference checking, and interviews. We ask that you take some time to read two essays by Thurman E. Scott, the Artistic Director and Founder of the Actors Theatre Workshop and Mr.

Scott’s professional biography. Reading these essays will be helpful as you prepare your application. The essays will provide you with a greater understanding of the creative foundation upon which ATW was built.

Mr. Scott’s biography will help place the curriculum and what you will learn in the class into a broader theatre context. We ask that you read them before joining us for an interview.

The essays can be found on our website: Thurman E. Scott’s Bio “Necessity of Process and Potential Power In the Theatre and in American Society” “Digging for Gold” Please complete the requested contact information, provide two references, and answer the questions below. If you do not receive an email confirming receipt of your application within two days of submission, please contact us at [email protected], or call us at (212) 947-1386.

After reviewing your application and contacting your references, we will contact you to schedule an interview. We look forward to receiving your application! Availability We offer internships that range from four to eighteen months.

This is a full-time internship program (40 + hours per week). ATW will work with each intern to determine a weekly schedule (including days, evenings or a combination of both) that accommodates both our need and the applicant’s availability. Because of the considerable time and energy required to train each intern to take over positions of responsibility and leadership, preference may be given to applicants with longer time commitments.

To be considered for a time commitment that is less than 40 hours a week or less than 4 months, a special request needs to be made in your cover letter detailing the circumstances. Only serious proposals will be considered. If you are unsure of dates and hours of commitment, please estimate.

Schedules will be set on a weekly basis. Interns will have two days off during the week with the exception of Saturdays. It is very important that Interns are available to work on Saturdays since this is a full staff day when we meet and plan for the week ahead.

Housing Arrangements It is the responsibility of the intern to make housing arrangements. We do not provide housing. If you have arranged housing, please indicate below.

Be specific. If you have not or are in the process of finding housing please indicate below. Be specific.

For example, “searching online, staying with family/friend, acquired rental in Manhattan”. If housing has been acquired please give complete address and phone number. As we depend heavily on email for our daily communications, it will be necessary to have internet access where you live.

If you do not, please see our LINKS section to sign up for free internet access for New York area residents. Financial Arrangements In order to be considered for an internship at ATW, Interns must have secure financial arrangements. We estimate that approximately $1,000 to $2,000 per month are required to meet your housing, commuting and living expenses in the New York City area.

Please indicate how you will provide these resources, i.e. savings, grants, family. Please be specific. If you do not have financial arrangements made, please indicate this below.

Let us know how you plan to potentially meet this requirement. Since this is an intensive full-time internship, outside jobs or long extensive classes are not permitted. To be granted an extension to this policy, you must submit a formal request with detailed circumstances in the provided box below.
