2023-2024 Apprenticeship Program - Studio Theatre

ABOUT STUDIO THEATRE

Studio Theatre is based in the historic neighborhood of Logan Circle in Washington DC. Studio brings personal, political plays to audiences across the Washington metropolitan area. Studio’s mission combines a commitment to artistic craftmanship with the connective power of live theatre: “To produce exceptional contemporary theatre in deliberately intimate spaces, fostering a more thoughtful, more empathetic, and more connected community, in Washington, DC and beyond.”

Each season, Studio produces five to seven productions of contemporary drama, including one to two new plays and commissions artists, particularly those early in their careers, to develop new works that will shape the field for years to come.

Studio is a values-based organization that pursues artistry and inclusion, and brings characteristic thoughtfulness and daring to our efforts, onstage and off. We are committed to anti-racism in our work and make a concentrated effort to proactively dismantle barriers that have excluded people from joyful participation in our art form.

ABOUT APPRENITCESHIP PROGRAM

Studio Theatre’s Apprentice Program is inspired by the concept of a “teaching hospital” and structured with two pillars in mind: on-the-job training and programmatic seminars and events. We see it as a partnership between Studio Theatre and the Apprentice – one that is mutually beneficial for all parties.

As a respected midsized theatre, Studio is both ambitious enough to provide invigorating programming and small enough to allow its Apprentices unique access to the Theatre’s artistic and administrative leadership. The work is rigorous and rewarding; Apprentices work together with the staff to fulfill the aspirations and goals of the organization.

Studio Theatres provides housing (including all basic household essentials), a $430 weekly stipend, a $500 travel stipend, $100 MetroCard, and a minimum of 10 days off during the course of the program.
