<p>Here are a few suggestions but there is lots of info on the web. Search regional theaters and summer festivals. Some offer room/board and sometimes even stipends for summer internships. The following is for the Chautauqua Theater Company in New York state.</p>

<p>Also consider opera companies and festivals. They have more money. Here are Santa Fe and Glimmerglass.</p>

<p>Upper division students with some experience outside of schools are generally preferred for paying slots and now it is the time to apply. </p>
<p>Another approach is to look for work as a stagehand for summer festivals and events. These are actual paid jobs, better than minimum wage. Look for jobs with events management companies who can use you for several events.</p>
