Roundabout Theatre Internships

Has anyone here had an internship with Roundabout.
If so, how was the experience?

I haven't been an intern there but I hear it has a lot to do with what field you go in. I had a friend who worked in development (I think...) and she liked the people she worked with.
However, I did WORK for Roundabout for a while and have to say that I feel that they don't treat people very well. At least the little people who work for them.
It's probably different in an intern environment. Just my two cents.

I'll toss in my 2 cents with serendpity's,differing only to say if intern's treatment is different,it is only in that it pays less(if anything).The Roundabout has a long history of treating its employees badly(yes,personal experience) & paying them as little as possible,all the while charging top ticket prices & with their top guys collecting huge paychecks($300,000 a year for one).

I strongly suggest you get your experience elsewhere(off broadway,possibly,or maybe Lincoln Center,a true not for profit organisation).

Regardless,good luck!

eta:I can easily second(pun almost not intended) priest's suggestion that follows mine-second stage is a more rough & tumble org.,but a good when where you will be respected.I know several people who have gone on to broadway from there.

For what it's worth, all the Second Stage folks I've ever met seem to be very nice people who enjoy their jobs -- most Roundabout people seem to be miserable.

Gah, some of those sound nice. Between Second Stage and King's College I'm really being tempted to see if I can work in theater...

Has anyone interned recently? I wanted to apply for Roundabout next summer. I'm a finance major with a marketing minor. I do marketing and development stuff for my college theater. Is it a pretty competitive program?
