PLAYLABS INTERNSHIPS
October
Application Due: June 15
Be a part of our national festival for new work! For all interns, 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.
Fall Interns will fill some of these roles, but we do accept applications for interns who are only applying for the festival. This is a time-intensive internship; those applying must be available for the entirety of the festival (which runs mid-October through late October and equates to a two week long commitment).
