2024 Interns
SCT is pleased to introduce the Summer 2024 Emerging Professionals Interns! Five college students and recent graduates will join us this summer in person and virtually to serve as teaching artists and arts administrators.
As a leader in Theatre for Young Audiences and Theatre Education, Seattle Children’s Theatre’s (SCT) programming is known for its excellence. The SCT Internship Program began in 1999. In these last 20 years, more than 400 interns have passed through the program. Of the last 6 intern classes alone, nearly 70% have gone on to find careers in theatre/theatre education. This program fosters talent, creates a network of valuable professional connections, and provides job training, all of which contribute to the workforce development system.

Allyndreth Smyth (they/them) is a rising senior at the University of Washington in Seattle as a History and Drama Design major. They have been enjoying theatre since before they could talk, and went from being onstage in the early years to finding a love of props and directing in high school that they are now honing in university. Allyndreth is a huge movie and musical nerd, and could spend hours discussing adaptations for the screen and stage, especially if it’s about DC comic books! They love spewing random facts to anyone who will listen, and telling stories through art to connect with others.
