LA
JOLLA PLAYHOUSE
DRAMATURGY
INTERN
The
Playhouse offers both full-time and part-time internships over a minimum
of twelve weeks. The program runs throughout the year, but can be extended
or adjusted according to your availability and departmental need. There
is no stipend; however, college credit is available. An application,
personal statement, resume and two letters of recommendation must be received
prior to consideration.
Qualifications
Potential interns
must have a strong theatre background; excellent reading, writing and
analytical skills; and extensive research experience. Computer and organizational
skills are essential. An interest in new play development is a plus. Interns
don't need a car and a valid driver's license, but public transportation
to and from the Playhouse is limited.
Responsibilities
Dramaturgy
interns assist the Literary Manager and Director of Play Development in
the reading and evaluation of scripts; dramaturgical research; ongoing
organization and maintenance of the Playhouse library; and other administrative
tasks. The intern may also serve as an assistant to the dramaturg during
a production.
What to
Expect
Interns
will have exposure to literary management and dramaturgical processes,
and will gain experience as a script evaluator and researcher, as well
as experience in the day-to-day workings of an Artistic Department in
season production. Artistic and dramaturgy interns are given access to
rehearsals (when allowed), tech rehearsals, invited dress performances,
previews, and the opening night parties. Positions are full-time or part-time,
and are available year-round. Regrettably, we cannot offer any payment
or housing.
