College Apprentice Company Auditions & Interviews
DSF offers apprenticeships for college students who wish to start their careers before graduation. Apprentices work with the Festival’s professional directors, actors, designers, and staff to gain hands-on experience both on and off the stage. DSF offers performance, production, stage management, and front-of-house apprenticeships. All apprentices will be offered a series of Master Classes and will work side-by-side with the professional DSF technical staff to perform set-up and strike duties each day of tech and performances. Modest stipend. College credit may be available. Auditions for Acting Apprentices will be held on Saturday, March 5 from 10am-12:30pm at the Brandywine Hundred Library, 1300 Foulk Road Wilmington, DE. Interviews for Stage Management and other non-performance positions will be held that afternoon from 1-4:30pm. Callbacks for Acting Apprentices will be held during that time as well.
For more information or to obtain an audition or interview slot, please email apprentice@delshakes.org. No phone calls please.
