To thrive as a Props Intern, you need a strong foundation in theatre production, basic crafting skills, and a keen attention to detail, often supported by coursework or experience in technical theatre.

What are Props Interns?

Props Interns are entry-level team members in theater, film, or television productions who assist the props department with sourcing, creating, maintaining, and organizing props. They work under the supervision of a props master or designer and gain hands-on experience in prop management, fabrication, and backstage operations. This role is often part of an educational or early career development program, providing valuable industry exposure and practical skills for those interested in a career in technical theater or production design.
