Congratulations to our |
  The
importance of Interns to Tri-State Actors Theater becomes apparent when
one remembers that this theater began as a company of young people performing
children's theater. None of the actors or technicians in that first company
were professionals. But those young performers were the artistic foundation
for what has become TAT. It was from this base of enthusiastic, largely
untrained actors and technicians that we have developed into a professional
and
training theater for the pleasure and enlightenment of all the people of
the northwest NJ, south central NY, and northeast PA tri-state region.
Over the years, our Intern Program has developed into an active, comprehensive,
and practical study of theater art with the purpose of performing and producing
plays on the highest professional level. Any one seeking to know more about
our Intern Program is invited to examine the frequently
asked questions below. |

The Times-Union Herald, and The Pike County Dispatch. Flyers are sent

public areas to inform the public of auditions. In addition, radio and

| 5.If I am offered a position as an intern with Tri-State Actors Theater, may I accept it without my parents' permission? | |
| If you are offered an internship with TAT, and you are 18 years of age or older, you do not need your parents' permission. If you are younger than 18; however, it is absolutely essential that your parents give you written permission to join the Intern Company. | |
| 6.As an intern, what would be my obligation to Actors Theater? | |
Your obligation to TAT is spelled out in a Letter-of-Agreement( ) which you must sign (The LOA must also be
signed by your parents, if you are under 18, giving you permission to join
the company), thus accepting TAT's terms of internship. LOA's contain references
to transportation, meals, daily and weekly schedules, punctuality at rehearsals
and performances, duties and responsibilities for productions, crew assignments,
and much more. The LOA should be read carefully by you and (when appropriate)
your parents, so that you will be fully aware of your commitment to TAT. Individuals
who accept an intern position with TAT are
expected to remain with the Company from the beginning of the internship
to the end of the intern season.(Approximately 5-6 weeks) The Internship is not contingent
upon the performing schedule of the Intern production, but upon the intern's
TOTAL commitment to TAT. |
|
| 7.Will I know what roles I will be playing when I accept my internship? | |
| You are accepting an internship (a) based on TAT's philosophy of artistic collaboration (working in an "ensemble"with other theater artists) and (b) to learn practical theater art through apprenticeship. Thus, when you join the Intern Company, you may or may not know the roles you will be assigned during the season. Many of the intern roles are cast only after the artistic director and other professional staff have had an opportunity to work with the interns. | |
| 8. Is the Intern Company open to everyone? | |
| The TAT Youth Intern Company is generally open to anyone 13 - 18 years of age, who demonstrates potential talent, is willing to learn and work hard to achieve the highest possible artistic standards in theater. We absolutely deplore racial, religious, sexual or other forms of discrimination. | |
| 9. Is there a registration fee for Interns? | |
| The fee for joining the Intern Training Program is currently $150.00 (subject to change without notice). We offer a limited amount of financial aid to intern candidates who are unable to pay this fee when joining the Intern Company. If you need help or an extension, please tell us rather than withdrawing because of lack of funds. | |
| 10. Could I ever become a full-fledged member of the Professional Company? | |
| Many of our interns have become journeymen actors, and then moved up to full status as a member of the Professional Company. |
