SUMMER 2026
HIGH SCHOOL ACADEMY | 10th-12th Grades
The Arkansas Repertory Theatre’s High School Academy is a cohort of students who have completed 10th, 11th, or 12th grade as of June. Students are selected for this six-week program through an application and interview process. Academy members rotate through various areas of operational aspects in support of our SummerStage Season – including but not limited to: scenic, costume, lighting, and sound design/production; stage management; front-of-house operations; marketing & fundraising; artistic administration. Students gain invaluable hands-on experience to prepare them for a career in the performing arts or nonprofit/small business management.
Successful candidates for this paid internship program will have demonstrated interest and experience in at least one of the disciplines mentioned above. They will have a love for the performing arts, and an appreciation for their importance in our shared community culture. They will have a sense of humor, an unwavering attention to detail, and the ability to problem solve with myriad personalities and working styles.
The Rep is an equal opportunity employer and seeks to recruit and retain a diverse workforce of artists, technicians, and administrators; particularly one that reflects its community in Central Arkansas. Applicants from populations historically underrepresented in the theatre field are strongly encouraged to apply.

Entertainment. Engagement. Education.
Throughout the year, The Rep hosts a variety of educational programs for all ages. Our six-week High School Academy gives teens the paid opportunity to learn and work alongside professional artists and technicians from around the country to help create our SummerStage season. Our “Schools Out!” Youth Day Camps show kiddos a fun time (and give parents a break!) during mid-semester school holidays. And our Advance Techniques Workshops give adult and young adult learners the opportunity to grow their skill sets in performance, writing, and more.
Programs and registration information are announced on a rolling basis. Follow our social channels to stay in the know about the latest!

The Rep’s classes and camps are part of our Community, Learning, and Public Programs initiative. Our goal with these programs is to capture the collective imagination and build community by embracing the art of theatre in all its forms. We recognize the unique ability of theatrical activities to improve mental well-being and emotional development. We strive to celebrate and develop the artistry of community members regardless of their age or experience. We provide a platform for the sharing of varied human experiences to drive community conversations. And we seek out collaborations with, and make our resources accessible to, like-minded community organizations.
