      Not an "Apprenticeship"

      Pros

      Full time work; contracts last 10 months, rather than just a summer season; hourly wage with overtime; several paid holidays

      Cons

      Goodspeed advertises their apprenticeship program as an opportunity for college grads to expand their training and perhaps move into a staff position with them. It's not. Apprentices are just stage crew, with very little opportunity to receive any training or assist in building shows. The "apprenticeship" program seems to just be a way for them to get away with paying crew significantly less than a stagehand's usual rate.

      Motto: It is the way that is.

      Pros

      I thoroughly appreciate the opportunity I was given working at Goodspeed Opera House on the Year Round Production Staff. I met and worked with reputable artists from across the country. Learned a great amount about how the regional theatre world worked and was able to get a ton of hands on experience. Also Donna Lynn Hilton stands out to me as a huge pro.

      Cons

      At the time I was with Goodspeed, there were a lot of people who had been there what seemed like forever. It was lovely to have this familiarity and a sense of being able to return to the 'good ol goodspeed' however, for newcomers such as myself there was a lot of resistance to positive change. A lot of this is the way that it is. No arguing with the way it has always been done. And thus also gave no opportunity for growth even within the same role. I also experienced some incredible negativity from a lot of the long term
