"Interning at Sideshow was incredible! The staff made sure to make me feel like a part of the Sideshow community, and shaped the internship so that I could be working toward my own personal goals. It is obvious how passionate everyone is about the work they do, and it really inspired me in my own personal life and artistic pursuits."
- Morgan Rielly, Intern Class 2017
“My experience with Sideshow showed me that theatre can always be a part of my life regardless of where my career path takes me. The hands on nature allowed me to feel included as a member of a team. I was able to take on independent tasks that I took pride in. Even as an intern, I felt like my presence had an impact on the shows. The company as a whole has been inspiring.”
- Mary Mathyer, Intern Class 2009-10
