Theater internships offered

A Noise Within, a classical repertory theater company, announces acting and production internships for the fall season. The program, which runs from Aug. 24 to Dec. 20, is open to all aspiring professional artists but geared toward actors looking for classical training to jump start a professional career or to prepare for graduate work in theater.

Acting interns perform, understudy, and crew during the company’s fall season as they simultaneously undergo more than 100 hours of intensive acting and technical training with A Noise Within’s resident artists and teachers.

This internship culminates in a scene performance night with an invited audience of industry professionals.

Past acting interns have held leading roles in subsequent productions by A Noise Within and have gone on to work at such venues as San Diego’s Old Globe Theatre, Mark Taper Forum, Ahmanson, South Coast Repertory, Pasadena Playhouse, Colorado Shakespeare Festival, Berkeley Repertory, American Conservatory Theatre and many others.

Production interns participate in one-on-one partnerships with A Noise Within’s directors, designers and creative artists in costume design, directing, lighting design, props, set design, sound, stage management or theater administration. Past interns have been subsequently been accepted at NYU and Cal Arts, among others. Application deadline is Aug. 17, and there is a $50 application fee. Acting interns must also pay a $500 class tuition fee. Production interns are welcome to participate in acting class for the same tuition. Some scholarships areavailable.
