About This Activity
Nantucket Stage Company is pleased to offer a Technical Theatre Apprenticeship for students interested in the work that brings a production to life behind the scenes. Working alongside our mainstage productions, apprentices will gain hands-on experience in scenic construction, costumes, props, lighting, sound, and stage management—guided by our professional creative team.
