Paid Theater Apprentice Summer Job, Age 16+


New 42 Apprentice Program @ the NEW VICTORY Theater. Open to college and graduate students, as well as high school students (ages 16+) during the summer, The New 42 Apprentice Program introduces participants to the varied aspects of operating a nonprofit arts organization. New 42 Apprentices are assigned to a department depending on their personal fields of interest, along with a staff assessment of where they can learn and contribute most effectively.

Working alongside theater staff and technicians, these students gain first-hand experience in performing arts administration through work placements that include seminars and workshops designed to establish a firm foundation for their future as emerging professionals.

In addition, apprentices meet weekly with members of The New Victory Education Department to review the program's curriculum, and are required to maintain a professional portfolio of their written and graphic work, journal entries relating to specific assignments and a Learning Plan outlining areas they wish to further explore.
