The Apollo Theater Academy Summer Internship Program provides High School students entering their senior year with opportunities for professional and personal development as they explore administrative and managerial careers in the performing arts and entertainment industries.
Interns learn about non-performance careers and what takes place behind the scenes at the Apollo Theater. THIS INTERNSHIP WILL NOT TEACH YOU HOW TO BE A PERFORMER. Interns are assigned to work alongside staff members of the Apollo Theater for six weeks in various production departments to learn about lighting design, videography, audio engineering, carpentry and prop creation; interns will also be exposed to careers in arts administration while learning what it takes to produce live shows.
YOU SHOULD APPLY TO THE SUMMER INTERNSHIP PROGRAM IF YOU…
• have a serious interest in learning about careers behind the scenes in the performing arts and entertainment industries
• are currently in the 11th grade and will be entering the 12th grade in September 2016

• will be available to attend (with a parent/guardian) a mandatory parent orientation on the evening of June 29, 2016
This is a paid internship. The application process is competitive. Not everyone who applies will be selected to participate.
