Prairie Repertory is a professional summer stock theatre company on the campus of South Dakota State University. During our nine-week season, we produce four productions each summer. For the 2025 season, we are interested in hiring performers, technicians and designers.
- The 2025 season runs from May 19 - July 23, 2025.
- All positions include housing and a $2,000 stipend.
- Students participating in PRT will be registered for one credit of THEA 480 at SDSU. This is done so you can receive campus housing, access the wellness center, and have the perks of a campus student. (This is taken care of for you automatically.)
- PRT operates Monday-Saturday. On a typical day work hours are divided into three sections 9 a.m.-noon, 1-3:50 p.m., and 4:10-7 p.m.
- Sunday is a day off.
- Performers work in a designated tech or business area when not in rehearsal.
- Work areas may include costumes, scenery, props, lighting/sound and box office/publicity. We try to give preference to your first choice.
- Technical-only positions are assigned to a specific shop and assist as production run crew.
