Here is what being a Wide Eyed Intern means:

 

• A professional credit with a new works company in NYC

• Flexible scheduling of 5-10 hours a week

• Possible academic credit, to be negotiated with your institution

• A one on one mentorship with a professional who sets aside time for you each week to discuss your work and goals

• $100.00 stipend or a one month MTA metrocard, your choice

• A pair of opening night tickets

• Three comps to be used on friends and family throughout the run

• recognition in both the playbill and our company website

• Collaborate with peers in the field

• As many introductions, recommendations and experiences for you as we can muster!
