The Star Players of Bristol County, Inc. are seeking enthusiastic, energetic young adults to join its 2012 intern program and learn what it takes to produce a major theatrical production.

Interns will work with Joel O. Thayer, graduate of the Yale School of Drama and designer, director and producer with professional credits in New York City, as he leads the Star Players of Bristol County’s summer production of “Fiddler on the Roof”.  Mr. Thayer is also a professor in the Departments of Theatre and Dance at both Bridgewater State University and Dean College.  The intern program will provide a supportive, nurturing atmosphere where young adults can learn and experience the challenges of working in theater.

Six intern positions are available; three will focus on set construction and lighting, two will focus on costumes, and one will focus on theater administration. Interns will work weekdays and some weekends and provide technical assistance during rehearsals and performances of “Fiddler on the Roof,” which will run seven shows August 17-26 at the Gerald A. Croteau Theater in Taunton. The intern program will run from July 9 to August 27 and will include a stipend equal to $200 a week. Having one’s own transportation is a plus but not a requirement.

Young adults between the ages of 16 and 21 who are interested in participating should send a letter describing themselves, listing previous theatre experience, and stating why they wish to be involved to:  Joel Thayer, Artistic Director, Star Players of Bristol County, 197 Tremont Street, Taunton, MA 02780.  All letters must be received by April 1^st to be considered and must include up to date contact information.
