Technical Theatre job training apprenticeship program
Urban Theatre & KaidyDid Productions is committed to creating learning opportunities, supporting career pathways, and diversifying the field. Our Apprenticeship Program is designed for under-served populations with little to no access to hands-on theater job training programs. This is an excellent opportunity for individuals with no background in professional theater to receive hands-on training in technical production and artistic careers. Apprentices will shadow one or more theater professionals, gaining the opportunity to not only observe the production process but also learn and practice the skills necessary to work in these fields.
Program begins June 1, 2024 and runs through August 3, 2024.
