FoolsFURY regularly has internships in three areas: production, artistic, and theater education. Internships with foolsFURY are a unique opportunity for aspiring theater-makers to learn hands-on the many aspects of working in a small, innovative ensemble. In general interns split their work between research projects, observing and assisting the artistic process, and office work. Internships are 15 – 25 hours per week for a minimum period of 6 months (with some possible exceptions for students on summer break). Schedules are flexible, to allow interns to find other work.

Description:
The FURY Apprenticeship program was designed to bridge the journey from school to professional career in the theater. In our youth education program over the years, we identified focused, passionate, talented young artists in need of greater challenges and mentorship. This program provides hours of one-on-one encouragement and skill-building, creating a foundation for positive self-growth while being held accountable for a professional project.
