Apprentice Program

We are always looking to develop passion in new members for all aspects of community theatre. New volunteers are always welcome to bring their experience and work with our teams.

In order to be a contributing member of a production team, a director/designer must possess a series of competencies.   By pairing experienced members of the production teams (mentors) with members of the company that are interested in learning that role, we are taking steps to develop all aspects of the Suzart community.  The apprentices will work alongside the mentors for a minimum of one production until they have been able to successfully demonstrate each of the required competencies for that position.

The mentors will demonstrate, train, coach, and ultimately entrust each task related to their position. Through ongoing feedback between mentor and apprentice, the apprentice is evaluated; these evaluations determine the next steps for the apprentice (i.e., designer/director, apprentice, assistant, etc.).  The evaluation is based on both skill and confidence in completing the tasks.
