Usher
This is a volunteer position. As an usher you must arrive at MTC 45 minutes before curtain. (If it is your first time ushering here we ask you get here 1 hour before curtain). Usher duties include greeting audience members, seating them, handing out programs and Member gifts, and communicating any issues with the Box Office Manager. Usher duties are completed when the show begins. Ushers may watch the show so long as there are available seats.
Concessions/Bartending
This is a paid position. This person will sell food and drinks before the show and during intermission and may collect tips. You are expected to arrive an hour before curtain to set up your area and make it look presentable for patrons.

MTC Internship Application
THE MTC FALL/SPRING INTERNSHIP
The MTC Fall and Spring Internships allow individuals to learn what goes on behind the scenes of a professional theatre, take part in the running of two to three MainStage productions, and make new connections they can’t make anywhere else. Throughout the entirety of the internship, your point person will be MTC’s Administrative Manager who will schedule you to work in the different areas of a non-profit, professional theatre. The internship is split into three parts: administration, box office, and production. The administration & box office piece of your internship will have you work directly with the Administrative Manager. The administration portion will require you for a few hours on weekdays to learn a bit about selling tickets, marketing, and fundraising. The box office portion will require you on select weekends to assist or fully run the box office for MTC’s professional productions. Finally the production aspect of the internship may have you work with MainStage directors, scenic designers, costume designers, stage manager, and more.
The MTC Internship is flexible on weekdays, but less so with specific weekends. You should be available on some weekdays, but those can be adjusted to work with your schedule. Certain weekends will be required and any conflicts must be presented prior to the internship beginning. The required weekends are those in which we have a production. You can see those dates and times HERE. The MTC Internship for the Fall will begin in late August or September and end mid-December. The MTC Internship for the Spring will begin mid to late January and end in late April/early May.
Open to college students and recent graduates. MTC is unable to provide housing.
THE MTC SUMMER INTERNSHIP
Deadline to Submit: April 1st, 2027
The MTC Internship consists of a summer of learning, teaching, and creating. Throughout the entirety of the internship, your point person will be MTC’s Administrative Manager who will schedule you to work in the different areas of a non-profit, professional theatre. The internship is split into three parts: administration & box office, education, and production. The administration & box office piece of your internship will have you work directly with the Administrative Manager and will require you 2-4 hours a day with occasional weekends where you will run the box office. The education aspect will replace the administrative part of the internship and have you assist with our summer workshops for grades 2-8 and grades 6-12 and will be for 5 weeks for 6-7 hours a day. Finally, the production part of the internship will occasionally replace the administration part as well and have you working with MTC’s professional costume designer, props designer, scenic designer, or director of production.
The MTC Internship will be Mon-Fri starting at 9am and all in person. You will also be required to attend all weekend performances. Some weeks in the summer you may only be asked to come in for a few days rather than Mon-Fri. The MTC Internship will begin in mid-June and end mid-August. The internship will take a break the week of the 4th of July holiday. You will be paid a small weekly stipend for all working weeks.
Open to college students and recent graduates. MTC is unable to provide housing.
