Interns Portland Stage is deeply committed to training future generations of theater professionals through our season-long Intern Program. Drawn from across the country, our interns work alongside leading designers, directors, administrators, and our professional production team, leaving with greater knowledge of the theatrical process and the satisfaction of being part of a dedicated theater company where exceptional quality is the end goal. Alumni of our intern program can be found in artistic and administrative leadership positions in theaters throughout the U.S., from the Maltz Jupiter Theatre in Florida to the Cleveland Play House. Currently, Portland Stage’s General Manager, Production Manager, Literary Manager, Education Manager, Education Administrator, Costume Shop Manager, Company Manager, Props Master, and Development Assistant are all former interns! 11 full-time interns joined us for the <strong>2016</strong>-<strong>17</strong> season! 18
Reviewing the many exciting highlights from the past year in the preceding pages, I am heartened to rediscover just how much we have accomplished. Through our diverse productions and programs, Portland Stage offers numerous points of entry, and we bring community together—to laugh, to cry, to enjoy, but also to inspire conversation and to deepen understanding. The Mainstage is and has been our core, and from that strong center, we have begun to nurture future audiences and artists through our Education Programs, as well as develop the classics of tomorrow through our New Work Development Programs. As a supporter of Portland Stage, you helped to shape the year that was, and you can help us continue to grow and thrive in the years to come. Thank you for playing your part in connecting Portland Stage more deeply with our community. I look forward to continuing the discovery.
