Chicago, Minneapolis and Seattle are all great, vital theatre towns—Chicago is the big, industrial one. All three of these cities are built around downtown hubs that are mostly empty at night, though this is changing. Most of the action takes place in the neighborhoods. Minneapolis and Seattle are smaller, heavily Protestant cities, which means that nightlife is not as varied or exciting as L.A., New York or Chicago. Also, people are unfailingly polite and wait for the light to turn green before they cross the street, which can be disconcerting to some big-city denizens.

Minneapolis has more per capita funding for the arts than any city in the country. This results in a large, innovative and diverse artist population.

Seattle is great if you like healthy living and the outdoors. There is a wonderful spirit of artistic community in Seattle that manages to obliterate the usual petty boundaries of size, budget, Equity, and theatrical orientation.

L.A. has a thriving scene, but theatre most definitely takes a back seat to Film and TV. Also, in L.A. you need to drive everywhere. Finally, there's Austin. Austin is ostensibly a college town, yet I believe it has the most vibrant theatre scene in the country. Although it is in Texas, it is not of Texas. Most theatre companies in Austin are small, and there isn't necessarily a defined way to break in. There is no Major Regional theater to which one can hook one's star.

Austin is also much more expensive than it was 10 years ago, and requires a car in order to get around. However, if you want to work on some of the newest, most exciting theatre in the country and don't mind temporary poverty, or if you have a yen to start your own company and want a supportive environment, Austin is the place to go.

Don't forget Atlanta! There is a rich, ever-growing theatre community here. There are two LORT theatres here - The Alliance Theatre and Georgia Shakespeare Festival - and a number of small to mid-size Equity houses, along with a large number of non-Equity professional theatres. New play development activities are quite active, particularly at the Alliance, Horizon Theatre Company, and Theatre Emory. There are two major playwrights' organizations - Southeastern Playwrights Project and Working Title Playwrights, each with slightly different focus and occasional membership crossover.

While our dramaturgy internship is still being defined here at the Alliance, I would suggest you find out more about the Atlanta theatre community at www.atlantaperforms.com, the website for the Atlanta Coalition of PerformingArts.

The LA theatre scene is one of the country's best kept secrets. There are more small theatres than in New York, and it's easier to get new plays produced here, cheaper, too. Under Equity's 99-seat theatre plan, producers pay actors very little for the first 80 performances--but actors are willing to do it because of the exposure they get to The Industry. If a show's a hit, then it can lead to film/television work (I've seen it happen many times). Another advantage is that all new work gets reviewed by the LA Times and LA Weekly, plus other smaller papers. The big advantage is that there are so many incredibly talented actors willing to do theatre here. It's a very good place to be an emerging playwright. Plays that do well here go on to other cities (I've had mine go from here to NY, Chicago, San Diego, Houston, San Francisco). The energy and best work is in the small theatre scene.

There are few large theatres: Ahmanson, Taper, Pantages, Geffen, South Coast Rep, and a very small group of mid-size: East West Players, Colony Theatre, Canon. Self-esteem is all this theatre scene seems to lack—it's always looking at NY.

Dramaturgically, I don't think LA has a whole going on. There are dramaturgical positions at the Mark Taper Forum and South Coast Repertory, and probably in some form at the Audrey Skirball Kenis Theatre (A.S.K.), but not too much more than that. I think an entreprenurial person could create such a position at any number of theatres here, but shouldn't expect to get paid, at least not right away. I'm a playwright and a literary manager, but not a dramaturg, so I'm slightly to the side of that world.

Go go go go go to Louisville. Actors Theatre has an AMAZING lit internship. I did it, I loved it, it propelled me to the Yale School of Drama for my turgy MFA, and eventually DFA. When I was there, Michael Dixon was the lit mgr, and he did a lot to make the internship worthwhile. Now he's at Guthrie, but some lit staff still remains, and I know they have a commitment to remaining on of the best, most hands-on, in-the-rehearsal-hall, getting-credit-for-your-work, kind of institutions. It's a competitive internship to get, but I think well worth the effort. Not to mention you get to work on the Humana Festival! And though you wouldn't expect it, Louisville is a great place to live. Mild climate, lots of southern culture, lots of arts, cheap cost of living, great food and parks and music. Small but welcoming.

You may want to consider theater in Washington, DC, the home of many cultural arts venues, colleges and universities, and the Library of Congress, a virtual haven for research scholars.

AACIP was formed in 1990 when a conference was held on the campus of Howard University in Washington, D.C. to begin the dialogue for bridging the gap between theatre and academia. A variety of African American university professors and members of Crossroads' staff engaged in a two-day conference designed to identify ways to collectively promote and preserve the African American art form. The outcome of this collaborative effort resulted in the formulation of AACIP's structure. AACIP is composed of four components: Arts Advocacy, Workshops, Internships and Faculty Exchanges.

Title: Literary Department Internships
Deadline: June 1 for consideration for the academic-year intern class
Length of Internship: Summer: June and running through August

Requirements: Literary Department Internships at InterAct are either summer positions for junior or senior level college undergraduates or school year (semester or season) internships for upper level students. Intern classes in the past have tended to be very small; three or four summer interns, and one or two student interns per semester. In 2002 we began a small full-time school-year intern program aimed at recent graduates of undergraduate theatre programs. This internship has duties in both the literary and production departments of the theater.

Stipend: We do not offer any kind of payment or stipend for academic-year internships, however opportunities to make modest amounts of money (run-of-show ASM, telemarketing, dresser) do exist as a possibility for interns occupying this position. Please inquire.

How to Apply: We require the submission of a letter of interest and a resume.

Description of Internship: All internships at InterAct have a modest component of general company work, including but not limited to helping with mailings, general office work, and phone answering. In addition, there are several ways to get involved with the company as a volunteer.

Summer Literary Department Internships: Literary Department summer interns generally perform three duties in the course of a two to three month internship starting in June and running through August.

The first and most significant task is reading and writing "coverage" (synopsis and evaluation) of plays submitted to us for consideration, generally between 30 and 40 plays. Writing and play reviews are discussed at weekly meetings. The second task is preparing a book of dramaturgical research on one of the plays that InterAct will be presenting in its upcoming season. These books, which require library and on-line research, are guided projects under the supervision of the literary manager of the theater. The final task is preparing and conducting interviews with playwrights for publication in our newsletter, InterActivity. We also ask summer interns to help out with special projects (such as the National Showcase of New Plays during the summer of 2002) and to be available for general company work for an average of 5 - 10 hours a week.

Academic-year Literary Department Internships: In 2002 InterAct began an academic-year intern program. For this position we are seeking recent BA or BFA theatre program graduates who have a clear interest in new plays. Duties include reading and writing "coverage" on plays we are considering for the following season, assisting on productions with the literary manager and dramaturg, helping to assistant stage manage, arranging, casting, and attending in-house and table readings of work we are considering for future seasons, working with the literary manager on developmental programs with playwrights and new plays, participating in the InterAct Playwrights Circle, doing dramaturgical research, assisting with the administration of literary fellowship programs, working with our education department on student-writing projects such as our Young Voices program, and performing general company duties on an as-needed basis.
