Summer Independent Internships

Summer Independent interns are part of a unique program focused on providing an environment for young aspiring theatre professionals to collaborate and produce a musical. Together, the Summer Independent interns produce a full-length musical that is completely directed, designed, managed, performed, and crewed by high school and college aged students. Interns are paired with professional Seattle theatre artists working in their respective disciplines who provide guidance and mentorship. The Summer Independent internships provide access to all Village Theatre facilities and resources for the duration of the summer.

Applications for summer 2023 are now closed. Thank you to all who applied. Check back in December for information about summer 2024.

Internships are available in a variety of design, management, and crew positions. View the full list of positions below.
