Dear Students,
Thank you to all that responded to my post regarding summer theatre positions. As you know, summer internships, apprenticeships and positions are an incredibly important step in developing your experience and expertise in the performing arts and are valuable steps in developing as a professional. Please read over the below list and congratulate these students for sharing their talents with the larger world. Like me, you will be impressed by the wide variety of work and opportunities our students have located! So, bravo to everyone! You should be proud and we know that you will spread the word about K-State Theatre to wherever you travel! Also, make sure you speak with these students when they return. As everyone will attest, you can learn a great deal from them and their experiences!
Make sure you send pics, etc. to all K-State Theatre related social media! Don’t be “Kansas Shy” and forget to hype your experiences! This is a time for you to shine!
If I left anyone off the list, please e-mail me at sbskelton@ksu.edu and I will add your name and your position.
Best, Shannon
