Olney Theatre Center’s Apprentice Program offers emerging theater artists a bridge to the profession, developing each individual’s skills by working alongside world-class designers and directors. Each class of full-time apprentices plays an essential role in Olney Theatre Center operations. Working in every facet of the organization, apprentices learn standards of professionalism while building their resumes and portfolios and forging connections within the theater community in departments ranging from production, administration, education, marketing, and artistic.
This is a year-long commitment, lasting from June to June or September to September, depending on the department. Apprentices also have the opportunity to work with the Director of Education to complete a Capstone Project tailored to enhance their individual goals.
