There is no certification, but an internship is as important to a
collegiate theater major as it is to an education major or a medical
student. It opens the door to a future job or advanced degree.
“Having
an internship allows me to practice and refine my skills in a
professional setting,” said Simone Tegge, one of four University of
Wisconsin-Stevens Point bachelor of fine arts candidates in theatre
design and technology working with Attic Theatre this summer...
Scott Wirtz-Olsen, theater professor at
UW-Stevens Point and scenic designer for Attic Theatre, recruited his
students to apply for the internships with the promise of teaching them
how to take a scene design and build it into a set that will serve as a
backdrop or framework for the actors. It defines the space in which the
play takes place and creates an atmosphere for the actors.
