Stage Management Internships - The Public Theater

The Public Theater/New York Shakespeare Festival is seeking full-time summer Stage Management interns with diverse backgrounds and experiences for Shakespeare in the Park. Stage Management interns support SM staff during pre-production and all rehearsals, previews, and performances.



The summer season provides interns with valuable firsthand experience assisting and observing top professionals in mounting the 2020 summer seasons of Shakespeare in the Park at the nation’s premiere not-for-profit theaters at our Delacorte Theater in Central Park and our downtown theater at Astor Place. The internship will involve long hours outdoors, late nights, early mornings and weekends so flexibility and a sense of humor are a must.



The Public is committed to creating a diverse and inclusive environment and is proud to be an equal opportunity employer. Applicants from populations underrepresented in the theater field are strongly encouraged to apply. All qualified applications will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, gender, gender identity or expression, familial status, sexual orientation, national origin, ability, age, or veteran status.
