Internship Opportunities

Interning with The Acting Company is a career-enhancing opportunity for undergraduates, recent graduates, graduate students, and early-career professionals to work in a busy, exciting and creative environment right in the heart of New York City.  Learn how one of America's most respected theater companies produces its renowned National Tour of classics and educational programming.  Internships are available in artistic direction, education, and development/communications.  (See descriptions below.)

Internships are available year-round, generally falling into one of three periods in the calendar—September through December, January through May, and June through August.  Candidates should be available for a minimum of twenty hours during the week, Monday through Friday, between 10 AM and 6 PM.  Arrangements can be made for a flexible weekly schedule.  Occasionally, interns are asked to participate in evening or weekend events, which include our benefit reading series and fall gala.

A weekly stipend will be provided.
