our program
This nationally-recognized program has sparked the careers of dozens of young, gifted theatre artists in areas that include design, performance, management, and technical theatre. RRTC interns, competitively recruited from all over the country, get the opportunity not only to learn but also to immediately apply their skills in a working professional environment. Interns work closely with and are taught by highly qualified professionals in every field.

Available internships include:
Acting · Costuming/Wardrobe · Carpentry
Electrics · Properties Stage Management
Administration · Scenic Painting

These internships are designed to give capable and motivated individuals hands-on experience in the area of their primary interest while at the same time exposing them to the many different aspects and demands of professional theatre. Our interns are an integral part of our company, participating in a fast-paced, summer-long intensive program that both teaches and pushes them to heights they never dreamed possible.


who we’re looking for
We’re proud to offer this exciting opportunity to interested individuals who are 18 years or older. Candidates should possess a determination to learn and an eagerness to accept new challenges. Long hours and physically demanding work can be expected, so applicants must be prepared and willing. A theatre background is preferred but is not a requirement. Academic affiliation is also not a requirement; however, the applicant should have some experience in their chosen field of interest. In addition to a warm, friendly, and fun-loving demeanor, our ideal intern candidate would also possess:
  • good verbal skills
  • the ability to get along and work well with others
  • an appetite for challenge
  • mental and physical strength
  • the interest and skills required to participate in professional theatre
We encourage all interested persons to apply – we want to hear from you!
