What does a career in the arts actually look like? 👀

For students and emerging professionals, sometimes the best way to answer that question is to get behind the scenes.

Internship opportunities with Proctors Collaborative offer a chance to gain hands-on experience, learn from working professionals, and see the many people and skills it takes to make an arts organization run.

Because a passion for the arts can become more than something you love. It can become a career. Know someone who's wondering what's next?

Your students put months of work into their production, so let us come see what they've created.

As part of the High School Musical Theatre Awards, participating productions are attended by trained adjudicators who provide feedback on the work happening onstage.

It's not simply about scores or awards, it's an opportunity for students and theatre programs to have their work seen, receive thoughtful outside feedback, and use that experience as another opportunity to grow.

Not every career in the arts happens under a spotlight 💡

Behind every performance are people working in education, production, marketing, administration, and countless other roles. Internships give emerging professionals an opportunity to gain real-world experience while discovering where their skills might fit within the arts.
