General Information

An internship with Chicago Children's Theatre offers real-world responsibility and experience with a professional Equity theatre company. An internship at CCT not only provides valuable connections in the Chicago theatre community, but also offers practical knowledge that's often missed in a university education setting. Interns can expect to be an integral component in their department, and many will have direct contact with the artists, organizations and corporations with whom CCT is allied.

The goal of Chicago Children's Theatre is to produce meaningful, enlightened and imaginative year-round programming for both children and families. We are looking for applicants interested in aiding Chicago Children's Theatre's mission to enrich our community through diverse theatrical programming that engages and inspires the child in all of us.

All interns must have exceptional interpersonal, organizational, and writing skills along with a working knowledge of Microsoft Office (Word and Excel required; Powerpoint preferred).
