Be part of Pittsburgh CLO’s Summer Season as a CLO Intern!

Pittsburgh CLO’s Internship Program offers a unique opportunity for interns to get “hands-on” experience by working closely with Pittsburgh CLO production and administrative staff members in such areas as: Choreography, Costumes, Direction, Lighting Design, Public Relations, Stage Management and more!
All Pittsburgh CLO Internships are unpaid, however, interns are provided with a $100 per contracted work week to help off set expenses.
Start and end dates for internships vary by position:
Administrative (Early May – Mid August) Production (Late May – Mid August) Education (Mid June – Mid August)
Administrative interns may occasionally be asked to work evenings or weekends as needed. Production interns can expect to work long and/or unusual hours due to the concentration of the season and the theatrical nature of the work.
The CLO Internship Program is offered to students 18 years of age and older. The Internship Program has resulted in college credits for some students (check with your advisor) and has influenced many to pursue their interest professionally.
Interviews will begin March 2011.
