Apprenticeship to the Company
Apprentices train with the Company, taking classes and participating in rehearsals and other activities on a per-project basis for 1–2 years. Apprentices gain performing experience by participating in lecture/demonstrations and group works on a per-project basis. Full Company participation depends in part on performance schedule. Each candidate will be evaluated on an individual basis based on previous experience, ability to learn, commitment, attitude and talent.
In exchange for the free company classes and rehearsal and performing experience, apprentices are asked to help with tasks that support the Company, which may include office administration, mailing projects, assisting in children’s classes and posting flyers.
Work Study Program
Work Study allows students to work in exchange for classes at the rate of $15 per hour. Depending on skill, tasks include office administration, mailing projects, assisting in children’s classes and posting flyers. Please submit administrative resume.
Scholarships
A limited number of scholarships are offered on an individual basis to students demonstrating exceptional talent, commitment and financial hardship. To apply, bring a letter of intent to the attention of Lori Belilove, and a photo and resume.
