Apprentices who show promise may also have the opportunity for spotlight duties on Mainstage shows.

Elder teens who perform may be considered for an unpaid performing apprenticeship in a Mainstage production. Performing apprenticeships are offered by audition only.

This program is an opportunity to learn many theatre skills which are also life skills and can be used in many applications outside of theatre. Apprentices may work next to skilled professionals, college age interns and see first-hand how the business of theatre works.

Since Surflight is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, Apprentice hours count as service hours for NHS and college applications.
