What to Expect
Apprentices are an integral part of the production team with the Omaha Theater Company and in order to create well-rounded theater professionals, our technical theater apprentices participate as staff members within their assigned roles on a variety of shows and projects. They are encouraged to develop good marketable habits, refine their interpersonal skills and develop relationships with theater professionals. On-going feedback and evaluations are given throughout the season providing an opportunity for the apprentice and their supervisor to discuss future goals. Apprentices also receive specialized training in specific disciplines and are able to take on leadership roles with the Teens ‘N’ Theater program & Youth Productions, including implementing lights and sound, leading load-ins and training board ops.
