A lot of companies use the term “rock star” to describe the people that they’d like to hire. I don’t understand why “all star” never caught on – it’s more appropriate. Rock stars come with all kinds of problems and aren’t necessarily the most desirable employees or interns, but all stars are the best at what they do. The All Stars Project is a non-profit organization based in New York City that is “dedicated to promoting human development through the use of an innovative performance-based model.” Even though their logo kind of looks like Rock Bands, they’re all about creating all stars. They do this by “sponsoring community and experimental theatre, developing leadership training and pursuing volunteer initiatives that build and strengthen communities.” They offer a wide range of programs that are centered around theatre and the performing arts.
I could keep blabbing about the All Stars Project, or I could let them show you by doing what they do best – performing in a video called “Singing and Dancing Our Way to Development.”
That video should cover most of what you need to know except what internship openings they have. Luckily, there’s a video for that too.
Beyond the video, there’s also a detailed Internships page. They’re currently offering opportunities for the summer in Arts Management, Program Management, Business/Finance, Sales, Communty Organizing, Theatre Mangement, Costumes and Wardrobe, Theatre Production, Development, Theatre Tech, Marketing and PR, Volunteer Program Management, Non-profit Management, and Youth Development. Additionally, they have their Get Organized and Lead (GOAL) Internship Program. All internships are unpaid, but it looks like you’ll be doing a lot of good. You can apply for the GOAL Internships by downloading an application and e-mailing a completed form, with your resume, to Jenny Zak at jzak@allstars.org. To apply for all of the other internships you can send a cover letter and resume indicating your area of interest to gelberg@allstars.org.
