I always check playbill.com
They seem to have a variety of internships. Go to playbill.com and then on the left hand side it will say Job listings. Click on it and you will see many jobs/intern positions available. You can even just click on intern if you only want to look at those openings.

Posted: 6/27/08 at 10:19amYou're aren't going to find "Broadway critic internships." You should look either for something in journalism or something in theater administration that will allow you to get good writing experience. There are programs that train critics, but you have to be fairly experienced to get into them, and as far as internships go, you're really not going to find anything that's specifically for Broadway criticism. Think outside the box a little bit.

Posted: 6/27/08 at 10:52amMy advice to you is to study what makes a good critical piece of writing. Read a variety of theater critics from past and present. Then I would start a blog of pieces that you've written.
If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

Posted: 6/27/08 at 11:42amI also recommend looking into a job that has you evaluating submissions and seeing a lot of theater. The more that you see and evaluate the better eye you develop.
