Internships

Many of our staff started their careers in the performing arts as interns somewhere, so we know the value of an internship to get a foot in the door and a leg up in the working world. That’s why the Straz Center is proud to provide internships to qualified college students who want hands-on experience within their fields of study. Straz interns get professional experience, mentoring and serious responsibilities in their work load and workplace expectations. Our goal is to offer a well-rounded experience that gives our interns skills and knowledge that will directly impact their desirability for a company or organization in their field.
