The Pollock Center Internship Program provides high school and college students with hands-on experience in the operations, programming, and production work of a professional performing arts center. Designed for students interested in theatre, arts administration, technical production, education, marketing, event management, and related fields, the program gives interns an opportunity to move beyond the classroom and contribute directly to the work happening at The Pollock Center.
Interns will work alongside Pollock Center staff and artists while gaining practical experience based on their interests and professional goals. Opportunities may include supporting theatrical productions and events, assisting with administrative and marketing projects, working with educational programming, participating in technical and backstage operations, and learning how a performing arts organization functions from both the artistic and administrative perspectives.
Pilot Program — Spring 2027
The Spring 2027 Internship Program will serve as the pilot semester for this new initiative. During the pilot program, internships will be unpaid and offered for academic credit only. Students must coordinate with their high school, college, or university to determine eligibility and requirements for receiving internship credit.
As the program develops, The Pollock Center is anticipating transitioning the internship program to paid positions beginning in Fall 2027. While paid opportunities are not guaranteed until program funding and structure are finalized, this transition is an important goal as we work to create sustainable and accessible pathways into the performing arts.
Through mentorship, meaningful responsibilities, and real-world experience, the Pollock Center Internship Program aims to help emerging artists, technicians, educators, and arts administrators develop the skills and professional experience necessary to take their next steps in the performing arts field.
Learn. Create. Contribute. Grow.
At The Pollock Center, interns aren't just observing the work—they're becoming part of it.
