>
>
> Now accepting applications for technical theater and performance
> interns.
>
> During July and August, the beautiful Berkshire Hills will once
> again be home to The Berkshire Fringe Internship Program. Because
> our organization is small, our interns are an integral part of
> making The Berkshire Fringe happen. They work hands-on with all
> staff members, including the Artistic Directors and Technical
> Director.
>
> Berkshire Fringe interns are intensely involved at the highest
> level behind the scenes and work directly with the professional
> actors, musicians, directors, technicians, designers,
> administrators and other diverse theater professionals at the
> festival.
>
> Performance and Technical Theater concentrations give our interns
> experience in the areas they are most interested in. Performers
> participate in professionally directed staged readings of brand new
> plays in the EarlyStages program, and will mentor with one of the
> Artistic Directors. Technical interns work side-by-side with our
> tech staff all summer.
