Positions are available in:
• Acting

• Design
• Arts administration

The program offers:
• A weekly stipend of $230
• Free furnished shared housing
• Positions that run 9 to 12 months
• Start dates in late May or late August 2026

We also offer summer-only positions in select departments, including education and artistic support, for students and alumni seeking short-term professional experience.

Full details and applications can be found here:
