THE INTERNSHIP PROGRAM:
Shakespeare Santa Cruz offers internships in two areas: artistic and production. As an intern, you will have a direct link with top theatre professionals, exposure to the latest skills and techniques in your field, professional theatre experience on your resume, and an inside advantage for marketing your new skills.
Artistic
The Acting Internship is comprised of the UCSC Summer Session course Acting Shakespeare (course fees paid by SSC), performance as an ensemble member of one or more SSC summer festival play, a backstage production work assignment, an understudy assignment, and performance in the Fringe Festival in August. The Fringe Festival is a full-length play and fully-produced show featuring all of the acting interns, with technical design and stage management by production interns. The Fringe Festival is an integral part of SSC's season. The Fringe Festival performs on two Monday nights on the outdoor Festival Glen stage in August.
The Directing/Dramaturgy Internships consist of an apprenticeship to one of the Festival directors/dramaturgs, and hands-on experience with the Company. Interns may apply to work on the Fringe Festival in August.
Production
This program is for those primarily interested in stage management, technical production, and design.
