ALL INTERNS will Create and Assistant Produce a Short Play Festival. Interns will create an “Intern Show” which will be a Short Play Festival. They will create the festival from scripts written by the literary interns. The scripts will be developed in workshops headed by Sandra Nordgren, with interns giving feedback. Interns will do everything required to produce a successful festival including writing, acting, directing, assistant producing, stage managing, lighting and sound design, costuming, set design, running lights and sound, publicity, marketing, audience development, poster design-graphic-and generation, program design and generation, etc. Interns are expected to have a roll-up-your-sleeves, get-the-job-done attitude. Several Intern Show Poster are on the Workshops page. |
