Thank you to everybody who applied!

In fall 2010 Purple Crayon Players announced its first-ever internship program for high school students, held in conjunction with our fall mainstage production of The Wrestling Season by Laurie Brooks.

Interns had the opportunity to be a part of the exciting and dynamic production!  Internships were available in both acting and production, and occured for about 10 hours per week, from early October through November 21.

Internship types:

- Acting Internship: Under the guidance of Purple Crayon Players teaching artists and directors, acting interns wrote, rehearsed and performed a short piece exploring themes found in The Wrestling Season.

- Production Internship: Production interns would work alongside members of The Wrestling Season team to learn what goes into designing and creating a full-scale production. Production interns would specify an area of interest (costumes, scenery, lighting, sound, publicity, etc.) to learn about in greater detail.

- All interns were paired with Purple Crayon Players team mentors to answer questions, advise, and help make the internship experience unique for each individual.

- All interns must have been current high school students in the Chicagoland area, who have access to transportation to and from Northwestern University.
