And here’s the direct link to view all the necessary information with it’s details for each position that I’ve listed above: http://www.mccarter.org/AboutUs/Aboutdefault.aspx?page_id=43#directingproducing

2- The Rose Theater: “By interning at The Rose Theater, students and early career professionals can learn about opportunities in educational theater, while increasing their job experience within a professional setting. Former interns have gone on to perform as professional actors, earn MFA’s in Education Theater, teach high school Theater, and even work full time at The Rose.

All positions are full time and provide a stipend.  In many cases, free housing is also provided. Fellows must have their own car.”
