Video and Content Creator Internship for Award-Winning Nonprofit Theatre Conservatory in NYC!
The Actors Theatre Workshop is seeking intern candidates who possess skills in video production and editing, graphic design, and social media, and who are passionate about promoting an award-winning nonprofit that serves the community through drama and creative process. Video production and content creation is critical to the growth, development, and success of our nonprofit. ATW is built on powerful ideas that inspire hope and we need your talents to help share our story.
ATW was founded by Thurman E. Scott in 1990 with a mission to help people from all walks of life achieve their potential through drama. Scott is a legendary, classically trained African American theater artist whose storied acting career includes six seasons with the NEW YORK SHAKESPEARE FESTIVAL, Obie and other award-winning performances throughout the U.S., and success, numerous roles on television and in films; as a director, Scott has directed over 60 plays. But perhaps his greatest artistic contribution is the original creative process technique he developed and that we teach at ATW, which led his mentor Stella Adler to designate him (after 30 years of friendship and study) as the “inheritor of my legacy and the Stanislavsky legacy.”
