Marin Theatre Company seeks passionate students of theatre looking for opportunities to increase their knowledge and experience while working in a professional theatre environment.
Internships are offered for a full season (September through June), for a single production, or for an academic quarter (three-month sessions beginning in January, April, June, and September). All internships are unpaid and tuition-free, and require a commitment of at least 10 hours per week. MTC does not provide housing or transportation. MTC is happy to work with academic institutions to arrange for academic credit.
MTC's internships are designed to provide experience and preparation for beginning a career in the professional theatre. Interns work closely with members of MTC's artistic and administrative staff, attending departmental meetings, interacting with patrons, and taking on real responsibilities in connection with MTC's programs and productions. In addition, interns participate in special workshops and seminars and attend theatrical performances around the Bay Area.

I've had two roles here as an intern: I staged managed for The Stinky Cheese Man [2008 summer camp production], and I am interning with Meg Pearson in Casting and Special Events. I will be going into my senior year at Northwestern University and I've had a number of theatre related internships and jobs throughout college. This by far has been the best experience I've had, hands down. I'm surprised the intern program is so new, because it's truly been extremely helpful in preparing me for pursuing a career in the arts. First, being given the opportunity to stage manage a youth camp was the perfect learning experience. Since I had never stage managed before, starting with a simple technical show and having Bethanie there for guidance really helped in teaching me the ropes. It was also really, really cool actually being given a real responsibility as an intern, I got to figure things out myself and actually contribute to the show. In past internships, it was a lot of sitting around and making copies, and in this one I felt like I was really needed. I feel the same way working with Meg, she gives me all the responsibilities she can, and while of course the duties of the intern require some menial tasks, she's given me interesting and useful responsibilities as well. She also does a great job of telling me what she is up to, so that I am aware of all her responsibilities in case I want to pursue a job like hers in the future. She took the time to tell me about her background, how she ended up where she has, and about all the various roles in the office and how they work together. I love sitting in on meetings as well to see how it all works. This internship has a great balance between observing and doing, which is what I said I was looking for when I applied. It's an experience I could never get in a classroom. It's also the perfect sized theatre for an educational experience. It's not so small that there's no money, time, or organization so that you end up doing what you aren't interested in, and it's not so big that you aren't noticed or given responsibility. I love it a lot and I'm really happy I was given this opportunity. The general atmosphere is very friendly and professional and I can tell that everyone really cares about what they're doing. Plus, I love all of the education outreach programs and how they're developing.
