DMMO's Design + Production Internship is a concentrated nine-week training and work program, during which interns participate in eight talkbacks with directors, designers, and production staff; attend several classroom workshops covering refining a resume and portfolio, networking, websites, freelancing, and production contracts; and receive hands-on instruction in skill-based workshops which include: rigging for the stage, welding, and stage painting. Interns also receive instruction in how to work safely in a theatrical environment - taking workshops on stage safety, personal protection equipment, respirators, and basic first aid. All the while interns are working alongside 38 staff and design members from professional theatre and production companies around the United States, helping interns expand their professional network of contacts.

Housing and travel stipend provided.
