Internships

The School of Theatre and Dance at SFA offers our students the opportunity to intern at the Milwaukee Repertory Theater, one of the premiere regional theatres in the country.

Each year, qualified students are selected by audition to be interns at Milwaukee Rep. As part of the internship, our students understudy major roles and are able to rehearse and perform with professionals in the Equity acting company.

Most MRT interns are actors, but some directors and stage managers have also spent their internship year at Milwaukee Rep.

Students seeking a BFA degree in Stage Management may be chosen by interview to intern at this most prestigious theatre.

A giant of a figure, Tyrone Guthrie, gave the Minneapolis theatre an importance that others could not match when it opened in May 1963. The Guthrie is significant as the embodiment of his vision for a new kind of American theatre – a professional repertory company presenting classic works on a thrust stage away from the economic pressures of New York and Broadway.

It is a major cultural landmark in Minneapolis, the Twin Cities, the state, and the region. The Guthrie Theater is the flagship and prototype for the American regional theatre movement.

This Tony Award-winning company is the leading theatre in the nation’s fourth-largest city. BFA candidates may interview for placement in a wide variety of Alley departments, working alongside top professionals in one of the largest, best equipped and most extensively staffed production centers in the U.S.

Students emphasizing technical theatre and design have worked in the Alley’s scene shop and backstage in its two theatres, while those concentrating on acting and directing have interned in the Education and Community Engagement office.

Internships also are available in arts administration, costume technology and construction, executive management, fundraising and grant writing, lighting and sound, marketing and communications, properties, production management and stage management.
