in the world of professional theatre by giving them the opportunity
to work hands-on during Princeton Rep’s 2007/2008 season.
Apprentices work alongside the directors, actors, producers and
designers we hire.

seek it, regardless of ability to pay. This program is also available

demanding academic environment. These students will also build their
