From the Program Director               From the students themselves
>>> FREE! To a limited number of applicants
Students are selected from those applying from South Bay high schools, or first-year college students. Age limit is 19. Requirements include enthusiasm for the dramatic arts, teacher recommendation, grades, and related experience. The program begins in September and runs through June. Approximately four hours per week are required, primarily on Saturdays and a few weeknights.

>>> Learn from experienced instructors, directors, and technicians
The program is run by a theatre professional who has experience working with high school drama students. Guest lecturers in the form of theatre directors, designers, technicians, and actors address the interns with plenty of opportunity for questions and answers.

>>> Get behind the scenes of community theatre productions
Interns will sit in on auditions, production meetings, rehearsals, set building, and other theatre activities related to the mounting of theatrical productions at OnStage Playhouse.

>>> Participate in actual theatre productions
There may be opportunities for interns to take part in actual productions, for example as backstage assistants or operating sound and light equipment. Such activity requires an additional time commitment to the regular intern program and is at the election of each individual in the program.

>>> Get community service credit
OnStage Playhouse is a non-profit theatre company formed to serve the community by providing quality theatrical productions and the opportunity for local artisans to hone and demonstrate their skills and talents. Any work done to help the theatre qualifies as community service.
