Professional theater of the Great Western Catskills!
Interns and Young Professionals Program
FSC’s Interns and Young Professionals Program is integral to our mission. Each year at FSC, interns (aged 16 and up) benefit from the creative and collaborative experience that FSC offers, honing a variety of skills and taking on major responsibilities with commitment and diligence. Working side by side with professionals, FSC’s interns have the opportunity to learn skills, make connections, and hear from those working in the industry every day. It is a testament to the mutual appreciation of this shared adventure that these talented young people return summer after summer to help make FSC’s season a reality. We couldn’t produce great theater without them!
FSC's 2023 Interns and Young Professionals Program is funded in part by generous support from the A. Lindsay and Olive B. O'Connor Foundation and the Anna L. Mabey Foundation.
