Internships at Shakespeare & Company
Interns receive one-on-one mentoring from their department in addition to working with professional artists. Throughout the internship, in a lecture series designed exclusively for interns, staff members from across the company illustrate the inner workings of a large arts organization and its commitment to an identity-conscious environment.
Interns also have opportunities to complete independent capstone projects within their departments and receive career guidance with performance evaluations and resume and portfolio reviews. Internships are typically 12- to 16 weeks in duration, but if one of the tracks listed below is not perfect for an applicant, programs of custom duration or areas of interest may be developed.
