Working and Performing on the Arcade Stage with Professional Actors, Directors & Designers

At Florida Rep, the interns play a vital role in the production process, and the theatre relies heavily on intern support. An intern’s duties involve a myriad of tasks and require an enthusiasm to work and to learn. The aim of the program is that interns leave with a clear understanding of how this business works on every level, and with real-world experience in a number of capacities using a wide range of skills.

Internships in Acting

The Education Program at Florida Rep is centered around, but not limited to, the Children’s Touring Theatre Program and the Lunchbox Theatre Series. Performing in these plays is our Acting Interns’ primary responsibilty. Visit our Education Department online for information on the current Children's Theatre Series line-up!.

Casting Opportunities Do Exist!
Each season there are roles available in the Arcade Theatre and ArtStage Studio Theatre Seasons that interns may audition for. Florida Rep is looking to hire interns it can cast in those roles, though there are no guarantees. Interns earn Equity Points through the Equity Membership Candidacy Program (EMC) when cast in show or when understudying a role. As an intern with Florida Rep, you will work with theatre professionals from all over the country, perform on stage and on tour, participate in master classes with the Rep’s guest artists, have the option to teach in our Education Department, and play a vital role in the theatre’s daily operations.

Internships in Production

The production internships at Florida Rep are a critical part of producing successful shows. Each intern works with our talented staff in carpentry, props, electrics, paint and stage/production management. We bring in top-talent artists in designing, directing and acting to produce nationally recognized works. Every internship is designed to maximize hands-on experience in the chosen field, while also giving team members the opportunity to work across department lines. Each intern will spend the majority of their time working in their respective department, but will also spend significant time working in other areas of production to support the continuing work of Florida Rep.
