Internships

We encourage every theatre major to undertake a professional internship at least once during their four-year undergraduate education. Participating students work for a minimum of 20 hours per week for a period of 15 weeks, for which they receive six hours of credit. During the internship, the student keeps a daily record of work as well as reflective comments on the learning experience. Butler Theatre internships fall into two categories:

  • Semester internships with the Indiana Repertory Theatre
  • Summer internships with theatre companies across the nation and abroad

Internships are available in a wide variety of areas including the following,

  • costume/makeup
  • acting
  • administration
  • marketing/development
  • stage management
  • production assistant
  • sound
  • lighting
  • company management
  • casting
