Summer Internship Program at the Apollo Theater

SUMMER INTERNSHIP PROGRAM

The Apollo Theater Academy Summer Internship Program provides high school students preparing to enter their senior year with opportunities for professional and personal development as they explore administrative and managerial careers in the performing arts and entertainment industries.

Summer Interns learn about non-performance careers and what takes place behind-the-scenes at the Apollo Theater.

THIS INTERNSHIP WILL NOT TEACH YOU HOW TO BE A PERFORMER.

Interns are assigned to work alongside staff members of the Apollo Theater for six weeks in various departments such as Programming, Marketing & Public Relations, Community Outreach, and Events Management.
