Intern with Purple Crayon!

Purple Crayon Players is thrilled to announce its first-ever internship program for high school students, held in conjunction with our fall mainstage production of The Wrestling Season by Laurie Brooks.  Interns will have the opportunity to be a part of this exciting and dynamic production!  Internships are available in both acting and production, and occur for about 10 hours per week, from early October through November 21. 

Internship types:

- Acting Internship: Under the guidance of Purple Crayon Players teaching artists and directors, acting interns will write, rehearse and perform a short piece exploring themes found in The Wrestling Season. 

- Production Internship: Production interns will work alongside members of The Wrestling Season team to learn what goes into designing and creating a full-scale production. Production interns may specify an area of interest (costumes, scenery, lighting, sound, publicity, etc.) to learn about in greater detail.

Details:

- All interns will be paired with Purple Crayon Players team mentors to answer questions, advise, and help make the internship experience unique for each individual.

- All interns must be current high school students in the Chicagoland area, who have access to transportation to and from Northwestern University.

- The deadline for program applications is Friday, Oct. 1, 2010. This program is completely free—all you need to provide is your own transportation to and from Northwestern University and the enthusiasm to learn about theatre!
