The Sharon Playhouse is now accepting applications for its High School Theater Apprenticeship, sponsored by The 21st Century Fund for HVRHS.
This unique program is designed to open the door to students of Housatonic Valley Regional High School, giving them the opportunity to get practical experience as team members in a nurturing and collaborative regional theater company.
Details of the Apprentice Program:
Apprentices must be students of Housatonic Valley Regional High School
Apprentices must be 15 years of age or older by June 17, 2024.
Apprentices must be entering into their sophomore, junior, or senior year at Housatonic in the Fall of 2024 (unfortunately, seniors who are graduating in June of 2024 are not eligible).
Apprentices must be able to work 40 hours per week (five to six days a week). According to Connecticut state law, 15 year olds will not work past 9pm.
The window of this Apprenticeship is from Monday, June 17-Sunday, August 25. Applications will be accepted from individuals who are available to work for 4 or more weeks within that window.

This is a general Theater Apprenticeship and may include work in the following areas: set, props, scenic artistry, lighting, stage management, sound, costumes, youth theater, house management, arts administration, audience services, parking, and other aspects of theater management and production.
Apprentices must provide their own transportation.
Apprentices will receive professional development and incredible networking opportunities.
At the end of their apprenticeship, apprentices will be asked to submit to the 21st Century Fund for HVRHS a written recap (300 or more words) of the program which shares what they learned and what this experience meant to them and how they will use what they have learned; this should be submitted with a photo of yourself and two or three from their time at the Playhouse and to participate in community events sponsored by the 21st Century Fund.
