Apprentice Company

Applications are open for the 2023-2024 season!

The Trustus Apprentice Company is an opportunity for current high school students to develop their creative skills through hands-on work within the theater as well as workshops led by professional theatre artists. Young artists who participate in these opportunities throughout the season and accumulate 15 hours of experience are welcomed into the Apprentice Company. This allows access to company privileges such as free show previews, company meetings, early auditions, and other exclusive events and opportunities. Apprentice Company members are connected to other young theatre artists as well as the professional theatre community.

Opportunities to earn ApCo hours are open to all high school students! You’re welcome to join us for just one or two events to see if Trustus is the place for you. Workshops and other opportunities will be posted on the Apprentice Company page of the Trustus website. Sign-ups for each event will be open one month before the event and closed one week before the event. Some events will have a participant limit so be sure to sign up ASAP!
