Peninsula Players Theatre’s Internship Program

The internship program at Peninsula Players Theatre is part of a tradition that runs as deep as the roots of the theater itself. Since the Peninsula Players Theatre launched its first season in 1935, interns, then called apprentices, have been given the opportunity to work side-by-side with professionals, learning the craft by observing and participating in it. Theater is one of the few professions where apprentices still learn from those who practice their art.

Gaining experience in a professional theater setting, such as the one at Peninsula Players Theatre, develops communication skills, provides hands-on training and builds networking opportunities with working professionals. Participants in the internship program work with the theater’s professional actors, designers, managers and technicians for 14 to 20 weeks. They witness all facets of theater in action, from backstage to front office, creating a constant path of growth throughout the season, thus making the Peninsula Players Internship Program unique among theater programs.

Peninsula Players Theatre has always provided its interns with a weekly stipend and provided free room and board. You may see them directing traffic in the parking areas, shifting scenery, delivering posters or operating the sound board during the shows. During the day, they assist in building the next show. These company members are an integral part of our theater, and they deserve a huge standing ovation.

For more information about our internship program, phone the Box Office at (920) 868-3287 or visit our website www.peninsulaplayers.com for an application for the 2024 season.

The theater invites our audience to stay after certain performances in 2023 and participate in a conversation with our artists. Have a question about the performance?
