Technical Apprenticeships

The Hangar Theatre offers hands on technical apprenticeships in scenery, electrics and sound.  These apprenticeships are designed for theatre artists early in their careers who have no professional experience and may have worked on only a couple of productions.  Apprentices get the opportunity to work alongside theatre professionals and contribute to the Hangar’s shows.  Apprenticeships will involve some daytime work as well as the running of shows. Apprenticeships run the entire summer and provide housing.  Apprentices are responsible for their own daily living expenses.  College credit may be arranged with your institution.  Applicants must be at least 18 years of age.  To apply for an apprenticeship please send a letter, resume (if you do not have a resume you can write a short essay about your strengths and what your goals are), and references to Adam Zonder.
