Young and Gifted Internship

Created by Maria C. Young

The Young & Gifted Internship Program was created by former collegiate All American, published author, playwright and director Maria C. Young as part of the Artistic Fellowship partnership with Asheville Community Theatre. This is a paid opportunity to add and prepare young voices of color who seek the chance to create and use their imaginations by providing writing, directing, and overall production opportunities for two minority youth to receive hands-on experience in bringing stage plays from the script to the Mainstage. This internship is a hybrid between youth of color and the resources they have traditionally been shut out from. To build a space where our youth know that their dreams and aspirations are valid and tangible as they work directly beside Maria C. Young in every aspect of bringing her new productions to life!
