The Allen Lee Hughes Fellowship Program was
established to increase participation of people
of color in professional theater. One of the
first theater-run apprenticeships in the country
dedicated exclusively to providing the highest
standard of training to minorities, it is an
attempt to break the cycle of exclusion and
disengagement that has created a severe shortage
of trained minority arts administrators,
artisans and technicians.
Fellowships require
a 40-44 week commitment and are available to
work with seasoned professionals in the areas of
artistic and technical production, arts
administration and Community Engagement. Arena
Stage will provide a modest stipend. Arena
Stage may also assist in locating housing, but
housing and transportation is ultimately the
responsibility of the Fellow.
Candidates are highly motivated individuals
who must possess at least an undergraduate
degree and have arts-related experience and
training. Most importantly, Fellows should have
a passion for the exploration of the human
condition through the dramatic forms.
