Music Theatre majors land summer jobs nationwide

This summer, Elon Music Theatre majors will be performing and interning at 38 different theatres, agencies, camps (and even a zoo) in 19 states, as well as abroad in Florence, Italy.

After a rigorous season of auditions, applications, and interviews, Elon Music Theatre majors will be hard at work this summer across the country.

Current students will be seen performing at prestigious professional theatres such as The MUNY, Pittsburgh Civic Light Opera (PCLO), Music Theatre Wichita, Bucks County Playhouse, The Lexington Theatre Company (The LEX), Flat Rock Playhouse, Forestburgh Playhouse, Arrow Rock Lyceum Theatre, New London Barn Playhouse, Maine State Music Theatre, and many others.

Several music theatre majors have also chosen to apprentice or study in different areas of the business, including assistant directing at North Carolina Theatre, interning at New York City’s Dodger Productions, and directing leadership workshops in Maryland.
