Due to the postponement of our 2020/21 season, we are pausing the Professional Arts Training Program this season. Thank you to all who applied for our 2020/21 PATP class - we hope that you will apply again in the future. If you have any questions, contact Nabra Nelson, Director of Arts Engagement. Applications typically open in January and are due in March, though this timing is subject to change. No. All of our Internships and Apprenticeships will take place for 25-30 weeks during our full season (August – June). No, we do not offer acting Internship or Apprenticeship opportunities. Starting/ending dates may vary by department and depending on the season, so please ask about the timeline for a specific program if this is a concern. But generally, contracts are for the full 30 week season. Yes! Contact us and we can put you in touch with some of this year’s participants. Don’t worry if you don’t get an immediate response—it just means we’re busy! Maybe. Work schedules are different depending on the type of Internship/Apprenticeship. A few of the positions have fairly regular work hours that do allow for evening jobs, but others (for example: Lighting Design), have shifting schedules that differ according to a play’s production schedule. Yes, you will receive an email confirming receipt of your application. Supervisors usually schedule interviews with their top candidates by the end of April and make offers by mid-May. All applicants will receive notice by the end of May. If Interns or Apprentices wish to receive academic credit for their time with us, it is the Intern/Apprentice’s responsibility to make arrangements with the sponsoring institution. Academic credit is up to the discretion of the participant’s college or university. Seattle Rep will provide the sponsoring institution any necessary reports or evaluations. If you have any questions about the application process, please contact our PATP Coordinator. We suggest you get in touch with the PATP Coordinator no later than February 24 to answer any questions you may have. The closer we get to the deadline, the busier we’ll be and we cannot guarantee a speedy response. Thanks for understanding!What is the status of the PATP for 2020/21?
