Apprenticeships

Call for 2013 apprentices -- Looking to gain professional experience in theatre?  Applications for apprenticeships for the 2013 season are now being accepted.

 

KCPT offers full season apprenticeships to recent graduates planning a career in the theatre and looking to gain professional experience in a facilitated, mentored environment. 

 

KCPT apprentices contribute to every aspect of operating a small theatre company from full participation in staff meetings, to heading up specific projects, to sharing in everyday administrative and maintenance tasks.  Apprenticeships may be tailored to fit the interests of the individual.  Production opportunities include the chance to work in technical direction, stage management, design, sound and lighting, and backstage running crew on any or all of our productions.  Other opportunities include work in literary management; grant writing and development; marketing and publicity; education and outreach; and arts management.

Production apprenticeships are full-time positions that occasionally require substantial weekend and evening time, especially during production.  Some flexibility may be possible.  Apprentices are paid a small stipend ($100 per month).  Housing and transportation are not provided.

 

 

KCPT's apprenticeship program is sponsored by Richard Weston MCL.

 

 

 

Internships

KCPT offers summer or per show internships to high school and college students looking to expand their theatrical experiences.  Internships are offered in all areas of production and administration.

Internships are non-paid.  If interns wish to receive academic credit for their internship it is the intern's responsibility to make arrangements with the sponsoring institution.  Academic credit is up to the discretion of the intern's high school, college or university.  KCPT will provide the sponsoring institution any necessary reports or evaluations.

 

Applications for internships are accepted on an on-going basis.
