The Colorado Shakespeare Festival (the nation’s 2nd oldest summer Shakespeare festival) invites seasoned professionals, early career artists, and college level apprentices from all over the country to gather in beautiful Boulder, Colorado. For thirteen weeks actors, directors, designers, and artisans work together in a highly energized, artistic, respected summer theatre company.
Embracing a learning-by-doing approach, CSF apprentices work alongside and learn from everyone around them while creating beautiful productions, gaining valuable skills, nurturing artistic identities, building resume credits, making connections, and having fun.
- Apprentices receive on-the-job training with access to top industry professionals both in the shops and on stage.
- CSF Seminars offer apprentices trainings, lectures, and workshops. Weekly check-ins with supervisors provide apprentices real time feedback on professional development.
- Apprentices participate as members of run and changeover crews, learning to rehearse, run, and maintain a professional repertory season.
- Apprentices have the opportunity to put summer skills to work as designers, coordinators, and managers for the annual “original practices” performance.
- Company housing is provided (shared bedroom in 2-bedroom apartment).
- Weekly stipend.
