Apply for a 2024 Starlight Summer Internship
Theatre has the power to change lives. Whether it’s a musical that lingers long after the curtain closes or it’s a comedy that keeps you laughing for years. Another way is through Starlight’s Bob Rohlf Summer Internship program.
Applications are now available online for college students seeking a paid internship experience filled with hands-on opportunities. Starlight interns contribute to the success of the theatre’s Broadway shows, concerts, community engagement programs, and more.
“My internship with Starlight opened my eyes to an entirely new possible career path. My relationship with fundraising changed as I discovered the power of sharing a story to raise support for programs that have a positive impact on our community.“
– 2023 Starlight Summer Intern
In addition to working with Starlight staff members, there are opportunities for networking with other organizations and to grow through professional development.
Social activities are included to help interns bond and work as a team with options such as a scavenger hunt, a volunteer project, and a trip to the Kansas City Zoo!
Positions are available in almost every department at Starlight from philanthropy to horticulture.
Internships are full-time and last for approximately 12 weeks. The preferred start date is in mid-May, with evenings and weekend hours a part of the time commitment.
If you need more convincing to apply, here’s what a few 2023 interns would tell you:
“I would say to apply right now! I would 100% recommend a friend to apply. I am not into musical theatre and plays, but that doesn’t matter. My expectations for this internship were blown out of the water!! I learned so much this summer all while having fun and making relationships.”
“DO IT!!! It’s a great opportunity to learn more and help your career, and at the same time, it is a blast.”
“You will meet some amazing people along the way. You and your fellow interns are a class for the summer and the memories you all make will stick with you for a lifetime.”
Deadline to apply is January 15, 2024.
