Candidates should submit a resume, a one-page statement of personal goals and anticipated benefits from the internship, and three letters of recommendation.

A monthly stipend of $2,000 is provided in addition to travel expenses.
Gilbert Hemsley dedicated his life to the training of young theater professionals. Beginning with the first intern in 1984, the Internship has continued his legacy by offering a unique experience to young designers as they begin their professional careers.
