Post-Secondary Academic Internships / High School Co-op Positions

Carousel Players is committed to mentoring emerging and aspiring artists. We believe in providing practical work experience, skills development, and guidance in working in the arts (performing and otherwise).

We work with college and university for-credit Internship and Co-op Programs, as well as DSBN and Niagara Catholic for-credit co-op placement programs. Students can choose to work with our artistic production staff, our administrative staff, our education staff, or a mix of all three.

Applied learning opportunities include graphic design, scenic painting and construction, props construction, stage management (certain terms only), community outreach, public relations, arts education, event producing, and many other areas.

Carousel Players is open to working with students to seek funding for such positions. Interested students should be aware that this type of funding can take up to six months to be approved and they should contact us at least two terms in advance of their planned internship or co-op period.

If you are interested in pursuing an internship, a co-op, or an applied learning course with Carousel Players, please send a letter of interest and a resume to General Manager Annie Slade at annie@carouselplayers.com or call 905-682-8326 *23.
