PLAYLABS INTERNSHIPS

Applications are due July 15, 2010 for PlayLabs Internships!

Are you an aspiring playwright, director, dramaturg or theater artist of any discipline? Get hands-on experience in the process of new play development at The Playwrights' Center’s 27th PlayLabs Festival of New Plays. The PlayLabs Internship is offered to advanced undergraduates, new graduates and graduate-level students of playwriting, dramaturgy, directing, stage management, and other theatre programs.

There are two internship tracks available (please designate which position you would be most interested in on your application).  Workshop Interns will each be assigned to a specific reading where they will work alongside the artistic team for the duration of the festival.  Our Social Media Intern will observe multiple workshops, generate material for the PlayLabs Blog and assist with other social media coverage (photos, Facebook, Twitter) throughout the festival. For all interns, other duties include, but are not limited to: setting up for rehearsals, performances, and events; copying and assembling scripts; writing rehearsal reports; running box office for performances; and other tasks as assigned. All PlayLabs Interns will work directly with playwrights, directors, actors, and PWC staff throughout the festival. 

PlayLabs Interns will start Tuesday, October 12 (two days before the festival begins) and the internship will finish on Sunday, October 24. The ideal candidate would be available for the entirety of this scheduled period, be familiar with rehearsal processes, have tremendous initiative, and possess strong organizational and communication skills.

A small stipend will be offered. Please note that we cannot pay for travel/lodging expenses.

Members of New Plays on Campus will receive priority consideration for this internship.
