Brief Overview:
NMU does not offer a master’s degree in theatre, so we have developed a highly successful graduate internship program.

Facilities:
The main stage is housed in a proscenium theatre with 532 seats in a continental arrangement. Black box productions take place on a thrust stage in a 125-seat house.

Assistantship opportunities include the following areas:

• costume shop supervisor (design opportunities)
• technical theatre (scene shop)
• playwriting award coordinator/ house manager

All graduate internships include a teaching assistantship for one class per semester in classes such as Intro to Theatre, Directing Theory, Stagecraft and Acting Classes.
