Broadway Across America and BTC (Black Theatre Coalition), in order to reflect and facilitate an inclusive commercial theater industry, have partnered to create a comprehensive paid apprenticeship program for college undergraduate juniors, seniors, recent college graduates and early career professionals interested in pursuing a career in theater administration. Applicants with a demonstrated passion to increase the involvement of those that have been historically underrepresented in American theater are welcomed to apply. The program is dedicated to fostering and preserving a culture of equity, diversity, access and inclusion in the commercial theater industry while providing an invaluable, in-depth education in the business of touring Broadway.
The program spans 14 weeks (20 hours/week) during the spring semester. Apprentices will execute job duties in a variety of arts administration roles and receive a comprehensive curriculum in the business of touring Broadway. The program culminates in a four-day trip to New York City for networking, seminars and shows.
All application information can be found at BroadwayAcrossAmerica.com/Apprenticeship.
