Non-Performance Theater Internships

Hi everyone! I'm new on BWW but I've been following it for quite a while. I'm a public relations student and although I think I may have nearly exhausted my search, I was wondering if anyone knew of any theater internships geared towards marketing students? I'm interested in pretty much anything except performance and technical internships. Sadly, I lack those skills.

Any help is appreciated, thanks!

Time to start writing.

Theatre Communications Group (tcg.org) publishes Artsearch which lists job opening in regional theatres. It isn't cheap, but libraries sometimes subscribe. Ask around. It also publishes on-line as well.

Or find a list of member theatres to the League of Resident Theatres (LORT) and start sending out letters and resumes. Also send to stock companies, dinner theatres, theme parks and road houses.

Someone will snatch you up if you tell then you want to work for experience rather than filthy lucre (or you'll work for very little $$$). If you live with Mom and Dad it will cut your expenses enormously.
