SpeakEasy internships are an excellent way to learn more about the workings of a mid-sized professional theatre company through hands-on experience and mentorship.

Applications for Spring 2027 internships will be open soon!

Internships for Arts Administration, Marketing, Development, Stage and Production Management are available for one semester (Fall/Spring/Summer). These Internships are a minimum of 15 hours per week, come with a travel stipend, and do not carry promise of employment after completion, though they may be used for school credit (if your college permits). In addition, we are happy to offer free tickets to our shows and events to all interns, along with full access to other company events whenever possible.

STAGE MANAGEMENT

Stage Management interns work alongside our professional stage managers and run crew on our mainstage productions, gaining essential knowledge in the responsibilities of a stage management team for professional plays and musicals. Internships in stage management are offered on a show-by-show basis. SpeakEasy’s producing season typically runs August through May and is dark during the summer.

Stage Management interns must be able to commit to a full 8-week production schedule, which includes rehearsals, tech, and performances. A mix of daytime, evening, and weekend availability is required based on the particular show to which you are assigned.
