Apprentice Company
Every year, Capital Stage seeks passionate and motivated college students and graduates interested in gaining practical professional theatre training for their Apprentice Company. The purpose of the apprentice program is to bridge the gap between academic theatre and the professional world by providing additional training and experience to individuals with career ambitions in the theatre. Apprenticeships last 6 to 12 months and includes classes, rehearsals, performances, projects, and practical application of skills learned in technical production disciplines.
As an opportunity to demonstrate their talents and what they have learned with Capital Stage, each year the apprentices produce The Apprentice Showcase. Every aspect of this production (directing, acting, design, build, stage management, run crew) is performed by the apprentices.

Your tax-deductible donation will help these young professionals in their training, and in their efforts to produce their very own showcase.
