Summer Theater Education Apprenticeship

Portland Stage is seeking Summer Education Apprentices for Summer 2025.

All Portland Stage employees, apprentices and guest artists agree to create a work environment that respects diverse ideas, races, genders, sexualities, abilities, culture, and religions, contribute to working in an anti-racist theater, and value Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Access (IDEA).

Summer Education Apprentices assist the artistic and education staff with planning and running Portland Stage’s theater camps for students ages 4-18. In general, there are three Education Apprentices each summer. Responsibilities include assisting and co-teaching with professional teaching artists, organizing and producing camp materials, leading warm-ups, and planning and executing camp ‘Apprentice Hours’ of lead teaching (1-2 instructional hours daily). The summer may also include opportunities to assist the Summer Library PLAY Tour. This apprenticeship includes free access to Maine Career Catalyst events and resources including social networking, professional development, and fun excursion events throughout Maine. This Apprenticeship generally runs from late May through mid-August.

The hours are full time (40 hours a week) Monday through Friday.

Furnished housing, utilities (electricity, heat, internet), and a weekly stipend will be provided.
