Bridging to a professional career

The Theatre Intenship Program offers qualifying theatre students the opportunity to work and learn alongside theatre professionals at New Stage Theatre, Mississippi's only regional professional (LORT) theatre company, located only blocks from the Millsaps College campus. The internship program can include work/study in any aspect of theatre, including administration; stage management; set, costume, sound and lighting design; acting and directing. Students must first successfully complete a pre-internship (Theatre 3850, 3852). This introduces the student to the internship program, defines the specific area of study and establishes the working relationship with New Stage Theatre. After successfully completing the pre-internship, the student may then pursue the full internship (Theatre 4850). This involves a full immersion apprenticeship in professional theatre intended to help the student bridge to professional work.
