At MusicalFare, we strive to continuously engage our community through theatrical performance, as well as utilize the relationships we establish with our community partners to educate our youth and become a reliable source of education and advocacy. To show our support in this effort, we are offering paid, and non-paid internships for specific areas of concentration. The two areas of concentration are:
THE FIRST STAGE (Non-paid internships)
This internship will be tailored for high school students in 11th or 12th grade (16+). We will work in solidarity with the institution and the student to help them focus on tasks that will assist them when they are ready to begin working in theatrical productions. This internship gives students the opportunity to gain experiences in every area of the company. The allotted period for this internship will be for the entire semester, or the number of hours dictated by the institution. The areas of focus, which will be accompanied by one-on-one training with a member of our MusicalFare staff, are: Administration, House Management/Box Office, Production/Stage Management, Design (Technical, Costume Design), Directing, Acting.
THE NEXT STAGE (Paid Internships) - In Honor of John Webb
This internship will be tailored for college students already enrolled in college or a post-secondary institution. Depending on the area of concentration, the allotted time for this internship will be 5-6 weeks. The stipend will consist of $1000, over the specified time. The areas of focus will include: Directing, Technical Design (Set, Light, Costume), Production/Stage Management, Choreography.

Testimonial from previous intern, Madelyn Goldberg:
"My MusicalFare internship was very informative and I gained a lot of insight as to just how important the “behind-the-scenes" people are to the production of a musical. Whether it was attending weekly production meetings or taking photos of the costumes, the small part I had in this production was influential not just to the production, but to my understanding of what goes on behind the production. I was able to be on book for the actors, take pictures for the costume crew on the “costume parade” day, and even record my voice for a short line in the show! While I don’t intend to go to college for theatre, I am currently an active performer and I’m always interested in fueling my passion for the art of musical theatre. I learned so much from this internship and I would highly recommend that anyone interested in any part of the musical process, whether it's acting or otherwise, try this out. Not only did I learn about the “behind-the-scenes” aspects of the show, but I also was able to pick up tips from watching the actors perfect their roles throughout the rehearsal process. This internship is so valuable for people with a passion for the theatre and a curiosity for what goes on in every part of a production."
