Does the Theater Department offer career development opportunities?
Each year students are encouraged to explore summer internships. Guests are brought in to introduce students to a number of important programs. Workshop are occasionally held to help students to develop appropriate resumes and cover letters. Seniors take Senior Seminar which focuses on all aspects of work and training after leaving Skidmore. Through this class, actors have an opportunity to get excellent professional headshots at half price. A semester-long audition workshop is offered each spring and a number of guests (casting directors, career advisors, company artistic directors) are invited to speak to students and observe auditions. In the future we hope to offer a small showcase in New York City – actors will present audition material and directors, stage managers, designers, etc. will be able to meet with representatives from a number of NYC companies.Are there summer productions? The Skidmore Theater does not operate a summer production season, but has hosted Ann Bogart’s SITI
