TECHNICAL PRODUCTION INTERNSHIPS



Technical Production Internships


PacRep mounts 9 to11 productions each season. Technical Production interns are charged with providing technical and logistical support, especially in the areas of lighting and sound, during pre-production periods for each show. Technical Production interns are used 40-60 hours per week during peak periods (usually 2-3 weeks at a time), and contribute part time in scenic construction at other times. Interns must be available nights, evenings and weekends during peak periods. Recommended for students with broad-based knowledge in electrics, sound, and scenic construction who are seriously considering careers in any areas of technical theatre. Any special skills such as welding, scenic artistry or sewing skills should be mentioned in your application.
