We are thrilled to announce the 2026 Internship Program from The Shubert Organization. The program offers serious theater students an opportunity to engage in the industry from beyond the stage. Emphasis is given to BIPOC students although open to all motivated, enthusiastic, and committed rising juniors and seniors students this summer.

With a focus on the industry from the theatre owner’s perspective, The Shubert Organization Internship Program will provide a general knowledge base of theatre administration and operations and offer hands-on project involvement as the organization prepares for the 2026-2027 theatre season.

The Shubert Organization is America’s oldest professional theatre company and the largest theatre owner on Broadway. Since the dawn of the 20th century, Shubert has operated hundreds of theatres and produced hundreds of plays and musicals both in New York City and throughout the United States. Shubert currently owns and operates 17 Broadway theatres, six off-Broadway venues, and the Forrest Theatre in Philadelphia. Under the leadership of Robert E. Wankel, Chairman and CEO, The Shubert Organization continues to be a leader in the theatre industry. Shubert delivers innovative ticketing solutions via its Telecharge interface, API distribution, and private-label technology, offering unparalleled distribution and marketing to the theatre industry and beyond. Its consumer-facing brands—Telecharge for retail ticket sales and Broadway Inbound for group buyers, tour operators, and the travel industry—sell millions of tickets each year.

Intern supervision and guidance will be provided by Shubert management and staff. Each student will be assigned a specific project to complete with real-time goals and objectives. Morning check-in meetings with managers will evaluate progress, offer feedback, and provide further instruction. Bi-weekly inter-departmental intern lunches with the coordinators and senior staff will provide community building and expanded learning about career opportunities in theatre management, administration, and operations.

The internship will also introduce students to the scores of professional careers available in the theatre industry beyond the world of performance and help guide them to their natural skill set as they contemplate careers in theatre.
