Un-Scripted Internship Program
We are now accepting internship applications for our 2008 season: Theater: The Musical, Un-Scripted unscripted, and The Great Puppet Bollywood Extravaganza. Ideally, the company would like to see at least one intern in each of the following categories: Production, Lighting, and Musical Improvisation. To apply, download a copy of the application for Production Intern, Lighting Intern, or Musical Intern, fill it out and email to christian - at- un-scripted.com. Read below for further information about the program!

Qualified interns work closely with the production team to ensure that shows go smoothly, while receiving valuable education and experience. Each show has its own internship program tailored to the specifics of that show, and the special needs it has or specialized skills it requires. In exchange for their time commitment, interns receive free training and valuable experience.

An internship typically looks something like the following:

• The Production Intern works with the production team to help with publicity, house management, ticket sales, concessions, and other necessary functions that keep the show running!
  
• The Lighting Intern learns all about lighting for an improvised show, from helping with light hang and load-in, to shadowing lighticians in the booth, to lighting shows alone.
  
• The Musical Intern works with the Musical Director (David Norfleet), attending rehearsals and learning to accompany improv, specifically learning how to score scenes and improvise along with singers in a Broadway style.

The next section provides prospective applicants with more information regarding the following aspects of the program: Work Aspect (Box office/House management/Lightician), classes, professional theater experience, and certification/recognition.

Box Office, House Management, Lightician Duties
Interns must commit to work in the box office, as an usher, or as a lightician during the run of the show. As an intern, you will be expected to work a majority of the performances. You will get a chance to indicate your availability on the production calendar.

Classes
During your internship, all Un-scripted classes are FREE! Additionally, classes will be scheduled to accommodate interns when possible.

Experience
Interns may sit in on rehearsals, and are always welcome to sit in on our post-show notes process. This is an excellent opportunity to gain a birds-eye view of how a professional theater company operates. Our internship will look great on your resume or college application!

Feedback
We want to learn from you, too! At the end of your program, we’ll be taking feedback on how we could make our processes better.

Recognition and Certification
In addition to being recognized in our show program, interns will be honored in a graduation ceremony on closing night. Upon completion of your internship, you will receive:

• A certificate of completion
• Some Un-Scripted schwag of some sort!
• Free admission to shows in the Un-Scripted 2008 season (subject to seating availability if no reservation)
