Student Opportunities
The Theatre Department produces four shows each academic year as part of the main season, including one mainstage and one second stage production per semester, offering all interested students the chance to get involved in a variety of backstage and acting opportunities.
To sign-up for the theatre department email list and stay up-to-date with all opportunities, contact Krystal Davis, at krdavis@davidson.edu.
Workshops, Guests, and Impromptu Events
Many regional theatre artists visit with students throughout the year to give constructive feedback on their work or lead them in workshops. These visits often are announced a few weeks in advance to allow time to prepare. The department also organizes trips to visit and engage with local theatre groups.
Work Study
In addition to volunteer opportunities, the department opens several work-study positions each year for students looking to gain paid work experience. All scenic elements in our productions are built in-house by our work study students, and positions also are available in our administrative office, where students interested in the foundations of arts management get experience in data analysis and publicity work.
For more information, please email Karli Henderson at kahenderson@davidson.edu.
We've compiled a list of theatres around the country that offer internships and apprenticeships.
Fellowships are competitive awards and programs that provide funding and other resources for meaningful immersive work, like research, teaching, or service. Like scholarships, fellowships can also support academic study.
These featured fellowships support a variety of experiences in and outside of the U.S. Interested candidates should contact Davidson’s Office of Fellowships to learn more about these fellowships and other programs.
