We have a variety of different internships focuses at Shotgun. Some of them are listed below. If you are interested in a specific area or project, please let us know in your application.
The Shotgun Players offer a variety of rewarding internship opportunities
for theatre artists looking for practical, hands-on experience in the fields
of set, lighting, costume design and construction. Interns in these fields
will be expected to attend production meetings, submit drawings and
participate in the installation, execution and strike of the project.
Additionally, interns will be expected to set a schedule with the director
and/or lead designer and be prepared to give and receive feedback on their
progress.
Shotgun Players also offers internships for people interested in Directing
and Stage Management. Directing interns are expected to attend and
participate in all production meetings and rehearsals. Directing interns
should consider themselves Assistant Directors and submit notes and
observations to the director in written form. Stage management interns
should also expect to attend all production meetings, rehearsals and
performances of their assigned project. They should assume that they will
have specific responsibilities and they should be prepared to give and
receive feedback on their experience.
If you are interested in an internship that explores the administrative side of non-profit theatre, Shotgun has opportunities for you. Areas of focus include Fundraising, Marketing, and General Operations.
