Thank you for your interest in working with Lantern Theater Company. We produce plays that investigate and illuminate what is essential in the human spirit and the spirit of the times. We seek to be a vibrant, contributing member of our community, exposing audiences to great theater, inviting participation in dialogue and discussion, engaging audience members about artistic and social issues, and employing theatrical language and techniques to enrich learning in the classroom. At the core of our company is the belief that great plays, well performed, make a difference in the lives of the people who experience them. Learn more»

2024/25 SEASON PROFESSIONAL APPRENTICE PROGRAM

The application deadline has now passed. If you have already submitted your information, thank you! We will be in touch with all applicants as soon as possible.

ABOUT THE PROGRAM:
The Lantern's professional apprentice program provides training in all aspects of professional, not-for-profit theater operations and management, and includes rotations in artistic, administrative, and technical functions, including box office, house management, run crew, stage management, technical production, and theater building maintenance. Ours is not an acting apprentice program, but theater artists with performance aspirations are encouraged to apply and may have opportunities to understudy and/or audition for roles.

Ideal candidates may have recently completed an undergraduate theater program and/or have some relevant theater experience in administrative, artistic, and/or technical areas. Apprentices work full-time schedules (40 hours per week) throughout the season and must be available for evening and weekend performances for most rotations, including rotations around major holidays (Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's, etc.). The professional apprentice program is a full-time commitment, and we are unable to accommodate candidates with significant outside obligations. Candidates without existing conflicts will be given preference.

The Lantern's 2024/25 season begins in September 2024 and runs through June 2025; the apprentice program begins July 29, 2024, and ends in late June 2025.



Lantern Theater Company is an equal opportunity employer.
We do not discriminate against any employee or applicant on the basis of race, color, sex, gender, age, marital status, parental status, sexual orientation, religion, disability, or public assistance status in the recruitment, hiring, training, compensation, promotion, transfer, layoff, recall, and termination of employees. We are committed to being an antiracist organization and building a diverse, inclusive, and equitable work environment, onstage and behind the scenes. Qualified candidates who identify as BIPOC, LGBTQ+, and other members of underrepresented communities are strongly encouraged to apply for open positions.
