Summer MFA Teaching Artist Internship

The Coterie Theatre and Heart of America Shakespeare Festival Education Departments are partnering together to offer a paid internship to graduate students studying in the fields of Theatre for Young Audiences, Shakespeare, and/or Theatre Education. The Teaching Artist Internship is dedicated to nurturing future theatre professionals by providing them with the opportunity to interact with youth, grades K - 12, as well as collaborating with local teaching artists.

The Coterie Theatre and Heart of America Shakespeare Festival believe that practical experience is essential to developing innovative teaching artists and that through our interaction with these emerging artists our programs and the field of teaching artistry will be strengthened.
