Marin Theatre Company seeks passionate students of theatre looking for opportunities to increase their knowledge and experience while working in a professional theatre environment.

Internships are offered for a full season (September through June), for a single production, or for an academic quarter (three-month sessions beginning in January, April, June, and September). All internships are unpaid and tuition-free, and require a commitment of at least 10 hours per week.  MTC does not provide housing or transportation.  MTC is happy to work with academic institutions to arrange for academic credit.

MTC's internships are designed to provide experience and preparation for beginning a career in the professional theatre.  Interns work closely with members of MTC's artistic and administrative staff, attending departmental meetings, interacting with patrons, and taking on real responsibilities in connection with MTC's programs and productions.  In addition, interns participate in special workshops and seminars and attend theatrical performances around the Bay Area.
