Community Theater

• Other Cities in Hawaii (USA): 
Hilo

Term: Throughout the year 

Description: Interns have a chance to involve themselves in multiple aspects of production--including management, organization, creative direction, and design--and will be assigned tasks according to their interests and skills. Interns who excel in these duties will have a chance to assume increasing levels of responsibility on individual projects. Previous intern projects have included assisting the technical director, constructing, painting, and striking sets, assisting in costume design, and organizing stage props. This is a unique project, in that interns will immediately be able to see the application of their efforts as the production unfolds and takes the stage. This internship also offers the added benefit of interaction with a diverse range of members of the local community. Availability and Requirements Positions are available year-round. However, interns' placement must coincide with the production schedule, when the most help is needed--usually 5 to 7 weeks prior to production. Please contact I.C.E. staff for schedule.

Highlights: Thespians and visitors alike will enjoy decadent, dramatic surroundings even before entering the doors of this theater. The theater stands in the middle of a lush valley, about a five- to ten-minute bus ride from intern accommodations at the University of Hawaii at Manoa, and a 20-minute bus ride from downtown Honolulu. Built on the site of a 19th century chapel, the theater rests inside a graveyard, complete with crumbling stone markers and tree boughs reaching out to partially conceal the building. Nearby storefronts offer fruit, vegetables, groceries, and coffees.

Qualifications: good health, adventurous spirit

Experience Required: no
