APPLICATIONS FOR 2024-2025 APPRENTICE COMPANY OPEN MID-MARCH 2024

The Apprentice Company at Actor’s Express is one of the most rigorous and successful programs of its kind in the Atlanta area. In residence for a full year, apprentices can expect an average time commitment of 20-30 hours per week in the theater. In addition to practicum work, apprentices take up to ten classes taught by working professionals. All apprentices recieve a $400 per production stipend.

The program has three primary goals:
1. To expand the skills of the artist through rehearsal, understudy rehearsal,
performance, understudy performance, class work and participation in
the workings of a professional theatre company.
2. To successfully bridge the transition from student training to professional
theatre career.
3. To inspire the individual with the theatre’s potential for impact.
