Summer Interns In the Scenic Shop In the Costume Shop Meet our summer interns! We are pleased to be able to incorporate a strong educational component into our Summer Theatre Festival as it is a core concept of the overall goal of this endeavor. The employment of interns, all college students or recent graduates, enables us to realize our ambitious plans for the summer. It is the classic "summer stock" model, offering employment in addition to the educational component. This summer our interns will find themselves in the costume shop, on the stage, on the set builds, designing lighting, props and sets, to name just a few. We could not do it without them!
