We are excited to offer internship positions to assist with our festival each year. These interns will learn the ins and outs of what it takes to produce high quality, high fun theatrical productions with youth. This year, we are pleased to be able to offer all six student assistant director intern positions through the Nex-Generation Round Up for Youth Internship Program.
We are also grateful for our acceptance into the Fort Hays State University/Dane G. Hansen Foundation Internship Program which has provided us with a Marketing Intern for the summer who will help us with all festival promotions.
