Theatre Pathways InternshipAt — CCAE Theatricals, Inc.

By the end of this internship, students will be able to: Communicate like a pro: write clear emails, run Zoom/meetings, present to peers and community partners, and give/receive actionable feedback. Navigate a professional rehearsal room: read a script for production, track blocking/props, understand calendars, tech week workflows, cue-to-cue, and backstage etiquette/safety. Manage projects: build simple timelines, agendas, and checklists; coordinate schedules; track tasks; and problem-solve logistics across departments. Apply equity-centered practice: use inclusive language, intercultural communication, and trauma-informed approaches; consider accessibility and universal design in programs and productions. Engage audiences and communities: support talkbacks, create short engagement activities, and understand how theatre fosters belonging and cultural wellness. Use data for improvement: assist with basic evaluation—surveys, observation notes, light analysis—and translate findings into next steps. Build a career toolkit: strengthen résumés/portfolios, practice interviews and networking, and understand nonprofit theatre pathways. Track-Specific Outcomes Artistic Production: assist with casting/dramaturgy, contribute to a production deck, support the TYA tour and play readings, liaise with artists, and document processes you can showcase in a portfolio. Arts Education & Engagement: co-facilitate activities with teaching artists, adapt lesson plans, manage classroom flow, and create audience engagement materials tied to performances. Portfolio Deliverables Students leave with 2–3 polished artifacts (e.g., a lesson/activity plan, dramaturgy packet or production document, engagement one-sheet) plus a professional reference—positioning them for apprenticeships and early-career roles in the field.
