About This Activity
This summer, 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 of Mary Poppins JR and Anything Goes: Youth Edition, apprentices will gain hands-on experience in scenic construction, costumes, props, lighting, sound, and stage management—guided by our professional creative team. At NSC, young people are at the heart of everything we do. This program offers a meaningful opportunity to be part of a true ensemble, contributing to the full life of a production while developing practical skills, confidence, and a deeper understanding of theatre-making.
