Our intern positions are all filled for our 2012 season.  Sometimes things happen and people have to drop out.  If you want to be placed in the group of people we consider at that point – please fill out an application and email it to us.

BUT  if you are open to considering participating in some other aspects of the festival we have a couple of other ideas for you:  We have a rehearsal residency for a wonderful theatre piece called HOW TO WRITE A LETTER. For more on this and an application visit www.howtowritealetter.org  Think about the possibility of combining this with a visit to Ko to take one of our 6-day intensive workshops!

INTERNSHIPS

General Description

Interns work closely with the staff and the visiting artists to execute the full range of summer activities, including mounting and running of the shows, assisting with rehearsal residencies where new work is being created, hosting the visiting artists and workshop students, and the creation of visual displays about the work.

Experience, particularly in the technical and front-of-house aspects of production, is welcome but all interns will receive additional training for their work, which will be in a multiplicity of production areas.

Interns are full members of the artistic community at the festival, and as such are encouraged to participate in the discussions that follow all the performances at the festival.

Useful Information

All activities will be held on the Amherst College campus in Amherst, MA between June 30- August 8.

Internship dates may be somewhat flexible.

The internships are unpaid, but cost of living is low and housing is provided. Interns are housed on campus with the artists in a wonderful mansion with a large and fully-equipped kitchen. It is often possible for interns to take one of the workshops at a special intern rate.

Interns are eligible to use the state-of-the-art campus gym and pool. There is a bike path right near the housing and the center of Amherst is just a short walk away. Cars are useful, but not absolutely necessary as the housing, studio and performance spaces are all within walking distance.

The nearest airport is Bradley Field in Hartford, CT (BDL).
