General Information

We seek responsible, motivated individuals interested in developing hands-on skills in the commercial theatre industry. Interns will experience the day-to-day operations of a Broadway theatre-owner, gain an insider's perspective to the business and have direct contact with professionals from all levels of theatre management.

Jujamcyn is committed to providing interns with structured and substantive experiential learning. Internships are provided in one of five departmental areas of focus: Theatre Operations, Executive, Building Operations, Accounting, Givenik/Marketing. Each intern is designated a departmental supervisor who will provide direction, guidance and feedback and will be available to discuss career interests and options.
