APPRENTICESHIPS & INTERNSHIPS

A Broadway Dreams Apprenticeship or Internship can be a pivotal moment in the life and career of a young artist. Continually, we have seen alumni come to reap the benefits of the training, experience, and networking opportunities offered by this unique program, and take enormous pride in their ongoing personal and professional development. In addition to gaining valuable skills and contacts in the entertainment industry, we have proudly watched countless alumni go on to opportunities with other professional arts organizations, work in collaboration with notable artists in the Broadway Dreams community, or move on to seasonal, part time, or full time staff employment with the Broadway Dreams Team itself.

Applicants are hand selected from an extensive pool and chosen to reflect the standards Broadway Dreams strives to uphold. Each Apprenticeship and Internship comes with a list of weekly responsibilities that must be met with precision and effort. In return, your participation is free.

Please note that while housing and travel are not included with these programs, the Broadway Dreams Multi-City Summer Tour may be stopping in a city near you. For those traveling, hotel rooms or shares at group rates can be arranged. Check the full list of programs for further details.
