Make money as you learn.

Some, or all, of the following positions may be available in a given season. They will be offered as either a per-show, per-semester, or seasonal appointment. A listing of available positions will be posted at the beginning of each fall semester to coincide with the start of the University Players season.  Specific duties and responsibilities will be assigned upon a candidate’s approval by the Staff Supervisor. A student will not be considered for an assistantship if he/she is on academic probationary status.
