Compensation

Interns may opt to receive either college course credit or a weekly stipend of approximately $200. Internships are typically full-time commitments which are scheduled according to the rules of Actors Equity Association. However, it is sometimes possible to balance an internship with a summer class or a part-time job. Applicants should specify any potential scheduling conflicts in their application. ATF strives to make its internship program accessible to all qualified candidates.

Housing

Adirondack Theatre Festival encourages applications from candidates who live and/or study in the Southern Adirondack/Capital region. A limited number of no-cost housing options are available for interns traveling from more than 45 minutes away. Interns who are able to bring their own vehicle are encouraged to do so.
