MYT ASSISTANT/INTERNSHIP PROGRAM

The MYT Assistant/Internship program is designed to give college and older high school students the opportunity to experiment with the artistic and technical aspects of a theater arts program. By working side by side with professional artists, students experience the myriad of tasks that go into creating performances. 

Interns will also get the opportunity to assist in teaching younger children as well as learning the organizational skills that the mentor teachers use to plan their program. Interns will learn about problem solving, teaching at different age levels, and collaborating with other artists. These skills will be invaluable to young people looking towards careers as teachers, performers, or artists.

Assistants/Interns will focus on one or several aspects of theater:

• Choreography and dance assistant
• Sound and lights: design, set up and running
• Stage management
• Production assistant
• Administrative assistant

Students may be assigned to a mentor teacher who will oversee their work and include them in the planning and teaching process of the production. Interns will also help with the general running of the program, including being present to assist during lunch and recess during our camps.

Enrollment is limited. Students are asked to fill out the application describing their particular interests and why they feel this program would be beneficial to them.
