The Artistic Associate Program

The Artistic Associates Program was created in 2024 as an opportunity for Andy’s Alums to return to the Playhouse to learn new skills in theater administration and help the next generation of Andy’s Kids. 

For the 2025 Summer Season, we have five Andy’s alums who are returning to the Hilltop as part of our staff. These Artistic Associates will help the Artistic Directors & Artists with administration work, production management, front-of-house, box office, and technical support for all mainstage productions, workshops, Greenhouse projects, and one-night-only events. The Artistic Associates program provides Andy’s Alums with opportunities to connect with professional artists from NYC, opportunities to assist professional artists in the rehearsal room, opportunities to design tech for mainstage productions, and a platform to showcase your talents through the first-ever Andy’s Associate Showcase.

The summer position varies between 10-20 hours per week and will be scheduled in coordination with employee’s summer schedules beyond Andy’s.

THE ANDY’S ASSOCIATE SHOWCASE

The Andy’s Associate Showcase allows us to celebrate our Artistic Associates. Our Artistic Associates are invited to present/perform something they’re excited about: be it a play, a projection design, a sound experiment, etc. As one of the big closing week events, The Andy’s Associate Showcase aims to bring the community together to celebrate Andy’s Artists as they continue in this new professional leg of their artistic career and provide them with professional feedback to further their growth. Artistic Associates can recruit the community as needed to present their work.

If you have any questions about the program, you can contact Jess & SMJ at jess@andyssummerplayhouse.org & smj@andyssummerplayhouse.org

Our 2025 Andy’s Artistic Associates will be revealed soon.

Thank you to the Milford Rotary Club for underwriting the stipends of THREE of our Associates.
