Internships
The Croswell Opera House is now accepting applications for 2025 summer internships. These are paid positions; the stipend is $450 per week for a total of 12 weeks, May through August (exact start and end dates are flexible), plus $250 at the start of the internship to help with travel expenses. Housing is provided.
The positions are:
- Costume shop interns: These interns build and alter costumes, style hair and wigs, attend some rehearsals, and serve as wardrobe or run crew during performances. Strong sewing skills are mandatory, as our costume team produces a large number of costumes in a very short time. Fitting, cutting, draping and tailoring skills are also required.
- Technical interns: Responsibilities cover a wide range of technical theater disciplines, primarily scenic construction. Interns may also work in props, sound and lighting, and will serve as run crew during performances.
- Properties intern: This person will share some responsibilities with the technical interns but will focus primarily on props and set dressing, and will also serve as run crew during performances.
- Box office intern: This person focuses primarily on the box office and will work most performances, but will also have an opportunity to gain experience in other areas, such as marketing and communication, if desired.
Croswell interns are considered full members of the artistic team and have the opportunity to work alongside professional directors, designers and other members of the creative staff. We offer a professional and fast-paced, yet fun, friendly and supportive environment.
Interns must be at least 18 years old as of the internship’s start date. They must be enrolled in college as of fall 2025, or have graduated no earlier than December 2024.
The Croswell does not offer performance internships.
The application deadline is Monday, February 10. To apply, please email cover letter, resume and references to Jen Letherer, production manager, at jletherer@croswell.org. For the costuming, technical and properties internships, links to online portfolios are helpful.
