What is a CPCC Summer Theatre Intern? 
Interns are performers and technicians who are from 13 to 17 years of  age who work  both onstage and backstage with seasoned professionals in all aspects of theatre production. Interns who are 16 and older can receive college credit for their work.
 
What does it cost? 
It doesn’t cost anything to be a CPCC Summer Theatre Intern. All college credit is paid for by scholarships.
 
What is my time commitment? 
It depends on the level of involvement of the intern as to how much time is involved. Summer Theatre begins its work on May 19th with the arrival of the technical crews. Since this is prior to most school’s summer vacations most interns begin working when they finish school for the year in June. Technical work is done primarily during the regular 9 to 5 work day. Some interns volunteer to work on the running crews for shows. This is an evening commitment. Any intern working on a show must be present at all technical rehearsals and performances. Generally working on an individual show is a four week commitment from the start of rehearsal until the final performance.
 
If an intern is cast in a show then daytime rehearsal runs from 9:30am to 4:30pm with a one hour lunch break. Rehearsals can run 7 days a week. The final week of rehearsal involves technical/dress rehearsals that will normally occur in the evening. These rehearsals can sometimes run until 11:00pm. The exception to this is when an intern is cast in the Children’s musical. All rehearsal and performance occurs during the day.
 
Theatre is a very time intensive enterprise. Interns are expected to be present at all crew calls, rehearsals and performances to which they have been assigned.
 
How do I become an intern? 
Interns are chosen two ways. For interns who are only interested in technical work there is an interview and test of their technical skills. For interns who are interested in performance an audition is required. The audition consists of a one minute monologue, a song and a dance combination. All performance interns are expected to work backstage at some time during the summer.

What do I get paid?

By there very nature internships are unpaid volunteers. If they are 16 or older they will receive college credit for their work at no charge to the intern.
