Call for Summer 2010 Internships
November 2009
WCPA regularly provides summer internships for qualified drama students at its facility at the Jones Theater in Westcliffe Colorado. Many former interns have said that it was the best summer experience that they have ever had in learning about the theater. We are located in a picturesque small town at the foot of the Sangre De Christo Mountains. See: www.westcliffecenter.org
The interns participate in every facet of theater work. In addition they work with local children for two, two week long, sessions of our summer creativity camp for local children, now in its seventeenth year.
The camps consist of theater training in improvisation, theater games, story telling, makeup and costume. The children present original skits at the end of each two-week session, which they have developed with the help of the interns. Creativity Camps this year are mid June through -Julyand July 6 through mid July, they are non-residential, for local children 6-16, Camps take place from 10AM-1PM each day in the great room of Studio 2, adjacent to the Jones Theater.
In addition, interns will be able to perform roles in at least one main stage production i.e. “A Mid Summer Night’s Dream” and/or “Macbeth”, by William Shakespeare. They will be involved in acting or in the technical aspects of our third main stage production “ Arms and the Man” by George Bernard Shaw i.e.: lighting, set design, building and set decoration. They may also be involved in co-directing our Youth Theater musical production in late August, if their college schedule and background permits.
The Internships run from June 1 until the end of July, and can continue through August, depending upon student availability and interest, Internships are limited to four students. The theater provides excellent housing in its new building, Studio 2. Which has a modern, furnished, four-bedroom student apartment. We also pay a weekly living allowance. We do not reimburse travel expenses.

Applicants should send a photo and audition DVD or video along with a resume with relevant theater experience and availability. Applications must reach us before April 1, 2010.
