Responsibilities
Assist staff and overhire carpenters in all areas of scenic construction, and in the maintenance of a clean, productive shop environment. Interns will not be expected to do tasks that are not already part of the staff/overhire workload. As the intern’s work quality and speed is evaluated through the early part of the internship, additional responsibilities and independent project assignments may be available. Interns are encouraged to be proactive and vocal about specific areas of interest and where possible, will be given opportunities for exposure in these areas.
