Atlantic Theater Company accepts only solicited material, agent submissions, and work/proposals from its ensemble. Our season is comprised of four mainstage productions of new plays and revivals, and two second stage productions with an emphasis on new work.

The season is complemented by a development series of readings and workshops, and we have an active commissioning program. In an effort to refocus our submissions policy, and attend to the large number of solicited scripts we received each season, we will no longer be accepting samples or inquiries as of September, 2012. Playwrights are urged to consult The Dramatists Sourcebook and individual organizations’ websites for complete information on submission policies at American theaters.

The Stage Management Fellowship Program is designed for early-career theater professionals who have chosen a career in stage management. Fellows will serve as assistants to the Equity Stage Manager and Assistant Stage Manager, interacting daily with all aspects of stage management for the duration of one full production. Throughout the rehearsal period, duties will include managing props, maintaining script updates, taking rehearsal notes, staying on book for actors, and giving line notes. Fellows will also attend production meetings and rehearsals and will work as running crew backstage during productions. The Program provides a stipend of $250 per week starting the week before rehearsals. Fellows will be able to take advantage of Atlantic’s Internship program, which includes sit-down sessions with Atlantic staff, directors, writers, and designers. Some previous participants have continued the fellowship, working in the same capacity on a second Atlantic show. The Fellowship Program looks to offer more than the traditional P.A. employment opportunity, by involving the Fellow in the company as part of the extended “Atlantic Family,” and by investing in his or her training and career. The Fellowship Program has a rolling application process. Please send all cover letters and resumes to akatz@atlantictheater.org, and you will be notified if we would like to interview you for new opportunities. Send updated resumes as necessary.

The Atlantic Theater Company invites multiple internships throughout the season in every aspect of the organization's operations. Internships are unpaid and generally held by undergraduate and graduate students, or recent college graduates. We offer college credit, tickets to all of the Atlantic main stage and second stage performances, free tickets to certain Broadway and Off-Broadway shows, metrocards for full-time interns, and educational sit down sessions with Atlantic staff, guest artists and other theater professionals. Housing cannot be provided. Part time (20 hours/week min.) and full time applicants are welcomed.

All internships provide the intern with the opportunity to get to know not only his or her department head, but the entire Atlantic staff as well as various theater artists. Each semester, we introduce more seminars, observing opportunities, and excursions into the larger New York theater community. Every internship involves some “grunt work” and errand running. We look for interns who will challenge us to constantly make the program better and more comprehensive. To apply:
