The Shubert Organization has chosen six aspiring theatre professionals for its second Shubert Organization Internship Program cohort, beginning July 10. The program aims to provide a general knowledge base of theatre administration and operations and offers hands-on project involvement as Shubert prepares for the 2023-2024 theatre season.
Shubert’s overall commitment to help achieve greater diversity, equity, and inclusion in the Broadway industry includes the development of education programs and pathway training for Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC) and historically marginalized students who are looking for careers in non-performance areas of theatre.
Each paid internship ($18/hour) focuses on specific projects over a six-week period, July 10 – August 18, with 20 hours of work per week, weekly MetroCards, development opportunities with industry professionals, tours of Shubert theatres, and access to Broadway shows and events.
The 2023 candidate pool was incredibly strong and included 93 applicants from 66 campuses in 12 states and three countries. The six students selected bring unique and diverse voices to the program. They are passionate about theatre, talented, and accomplished in their own educational journeys thus far. They are:
