Kansas City, Missouri – With its 2025 Summer Internship Program, Starlight Theatre—the crown jewel of Kansas City’s entertainment scene—is once again welcoming young people with ambitions to learn something new. This program gives college students a rare chance to explore the operational core of live Broadway musicals, concerts, and arts education events. pplications for these sought-after positions are now open, with a deadline of January 15, 2025.

Starlight interns will be fully submerged in the practical complexities of the performing arts business. From bookkeeping and marketing to donor relations and production, more than a dozen students will be chosen to join several departments inside the nonprofit theater. This variety of roles guarantees that every intern gets thorough, practical experience fit for their degree of study.
Starlight Theatre pushes their interns with actual tasks that equip them for jobs in fields outside of the arts every summer. Learning how to operate in a professional environment is only one aspect; another is really becoming a professional.
Apart from a learning opportunity, the Starlight internship opens doors to strengthen a professional network. In addition to helping to finance the internship program, intern participation in the annual summer fundraiser, Starry Night at Starlight, gives them invaluable key fundraising and event planning experience. The program also offers opportunities to network with Kansas City industry leaders and Q&A sessions with Starlight’s leadership.
It is not all work, though; Starlight makes sure its interns have lots of possibilities for leisure and enjoyment. The initiative consists in social events, staff mixers, networking opportunities with other experts, and volunteer activity. The free tickets to shows, which let interns personally enjoy the wonder of Starlight’s plays, are maybe among the most appealing incentives.
“Apply right now! I would 100% recommend a friend to apply. I’m not into musical theatre and plays, but that doesn’t matter. My expectations for this internship were blown out of the park!! I learned so much this summer, all while having fun and building relationships,” shared a former intern.
Prospective interns are encouraged to prepare their applications as soon as possible and apply for the internship. There are just a few spots, hence the competition is as lively as Starlight presents on its stages every summer.
For individuals who would want to apply, the official website of Starlight Theatre has comprehensive information and the application process. With imagination, difficulties, and the excitement of live performance, next summer might be the start of a great artistic career.
