The program offers serious theater students an opportunity to engage in the industry from beyond the stage. Emphasis is given to BIPOC students although open to all motivated, enthusiastic, and committed high school seniors and graduating students this summer. With a focus on the industry from the theatre owner’s perspective, The Shubert Organization Internship Program will provide a general knowledge base of theatre administration and operations and offer hands-on project involvement as the organization prepares for the 2024-2025 theatre season. Part of Shubert’s overall commitment to help achieve greater diversity, equity and inclusion in the Broadway industry is to develop education programs and pathway training for Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC), and historically marginalized students who are looking for careers in non-performance areas of theatre. The Shubert Organization is America’s oldest professional theatre company and the largest theatre owner on Broadway. Shubert currently owns and operates 17 Broadway theatres, six off-Broadway venues, and the Forrest Theatre in Philadelphia. In addition, Shubert’s innovative ticketing solutions offer unparalleled distribution and marketing to the theatre industry and beyond. Its consumer-facing brands –Telecharge for retail ticket sales, and Broadway InBound for ticketing to tour operators and the travel industry – sell millions of tickets each year. Intern supervision and guidance will be provided by Shubert management and staff. Each student will be assigned a specific project to complete with real-time goals and objectives. Morning check-in meetings with managers will evaluate progress, offer feedback, and provide further instruction. Weekly inter-departmental intern lunches with the coordinators and senior staff will provide community building and expanded learning about career opportunities in theatre management, administration, and operations. The internship will also introduce students to the scores of professional careers available in the theatre industry beyond the world of performance and help guide them to their natural skill set as they contemplate careers in theatre. AVAILABLE INTERNSHIPS FOR 2025: • Broadway Theatre Management Theatre Management is a collaboration between the Theatre Manager (House Manager) and the staff in the theatre.
