Playscripts, Inc. Internship Program

Playscripts, Inc., an innovative publisher of new plays, is currently seeking interns with a strong interest in learning about all aspects of the play publishing industry. Theater knowledge is required, and an appreciation for new works is a plus. This is a highly interactive internship that aims to provide actual publishing experience, rather than merely helping you sharpen your photocopying skills.

Duties can include reading and evaluating script submissions, answering phones and assisting customers and playwrights, copyediting and formatting manuscripts, and working on a variety of company projects and administrative tasks. We're looking for energetic, self-motivated and responsible individuals with excellent written and verbal communication skills, and an ability to multi-task. Requirements: Touch-typing proficiency (at least 60 words per minute); proficiency with standard word processing, email, and web browsing software.

Applications for internships are accepted year-round. Internship periods generally run over the course of the following periods:

  • Fall internship: September 15th - December 15th
  • Spring internship: January 15th - May 15th
  • Summer internship: May 15th - September 1st

    Office hours are Monday-Friday, 10am-6pm. A stipend is provided for both full-time and part-time internships ($40-$75/week), and the experience should be eligible for course credit at most schools. Perks include free tickets to various shows in New York City.

    Send an email to hr@playscripts.com, and include the following:

    1) Cover letter detailing your interest in Playscripts, Inc.
    2) Resume of your artistic and administrative experience.
    3) Brief literary analysis of a play you've read or seen, focusing on the script, not the production (~200 words).
    4) Letter of recommendation [optional]

    Please indicate whether you are applying for the Fall, Spring, or Summer internships, or some combination.

    Although email is strongly preferred, hard-copy correspondence may be sent to our office address:

    450 Seventh Ave.
