Internships

The Metropolitan Playhouse is New York's resident theater dedicated to exploring American literature and culture.  Metropolitan consists of a core group of artists and supporters, under the leadership of Producing Artistic Director Alex Roe

Internships at Metropolitan can be scheduled anywhere from 10 to 40 hours/week.  All interns will work closely with the Producing Artistic Director as well as the various artists engaged in any given production.  Metropolitan cannot offer reimbursement for interns; however, work hours can be flexible, and the resources of the theater, including the theater itself, are offered for interns’ use as available.  Work-study credit can be arranged with participating educational institutions.  Further, interns may be offered production-related positions that offer modest reimbursement.
Positions
Assistant to the Producing Director (30+ hrs/wk)
The Producing Artistic Director is responsible for all of the company’s operations.  This internship is the most varied, and requires interest in seasonal programming, dramaturgy, artist relations, professional networking, finance, and office management.  The most time-consuming internship, it is also the best opportunity to see how a company works from the inside.
Development  Associate (10 - 20 hrs/wk)
Securing financial support is a central part of running a non-profit theater.  The Development Associate will identify grantor possibilities, track grant schedules/deadlines, coordinate grant materials, assist in grant writing, and reate and cultivate new funding sources, both earned and unearned. This associate will also work with Metropolitan's Board of Directors.
