In these reviews I will be covering compensation, role responsibilities/expectations, housing, amenities (if any were included), the administrative team which will include company management, the general manger, and artistic directors, and lastly the producer(s) if any interaction was had. Creative teams may or may not be included, but only if necessary as they are moving variables and are not directly related to the theaters themselves (unless they are resident directors/choreographers). Administrative teams and producers will be ranked by the following system: Poor, Fair, Good, Very Good, and Excellent. I will be not listing any names to prevent any possible doxing. This experience was from 2013 before TBTS gave out EMC points. This means I did not receive any points though that is no longer relevant information. Compensation: $200/wk before taxes + you are guaranteed to be cast in 2 shows for their season. the $200 was given as salary and also expected to cover your food for the week. Considering the amount of work required, this is absolutely unacceptable regardless of whether or not it is an internship. You are still being hired to work for a company away from your home base, therefore you should be compensated accordingly. Exposure, connections, and experience is not an acceptable form of compensation. It is exploitation of young adult artists that do not know any better. Role responsibilities/expectations: We were expected to do what was assigned, whenever it was assigned. We assisted the technical crew in cleaning paint brushes, setting up the theater's sound equipment through the theater, scrubbing and cleaning all of the theater's chairs, vacuuming the theater, setting up the set as well as striking the set, cleaning the prop basement, painting, and more. As an intern, part of your compensation was also being included in 2 shows. All requiring 8 hour rehearsals/6 days a week. Housing: We were housed in the staff house behind the theater. No AC was provided or allowed in the rooms, so when it would get really hot we would move our mattresses down to the restaurant connected to the house to sleep in the AC. We shared housing with the technical crew. There were 10 of us in total in the house. We all shared 1 bathroom and kitchen. The bathroom provided also served as the handicap bathroom for the restaurant connected to the house. Amenities: Wi-fi was provided and the staff house was a 3 minute walk away from a private beach. That was the best part of the entire contract. Administrative Team Overall Rank: Good Company Management: Fair - responsive, friendly, a bit disorganized, but overall helpful General Manager/Artistic Director: Good - oversaw intern team, attentive, communicative Producer: Fair - overall interaction was limited; fair rating is based on inappropriate behavior towards male cast members. 3 stars. Overall, being near the beach and creating a community of friends made for a fun albeit interesting summer. We were told that the director of one show did not want to work with us and would have preferred to have chosen his own interns. That made for a not-so-fun experience being in that show. The cabaret nights are a lot of fun and as someone has said, you do get drink tickets for the songs you sing. As interns, we were treated as though we should have been grateful to be there and therefore we did not deserve a lot of respect, which was disappointing. I hesitate to encourage you to work here, but as always the choice is yours. Best of luck!
