Seattle Public Theater and the Seattle Public Education Department are excited to announce youth tech intern applications for Night Night, Roger Roger, written by Roni Ragone and directed by Jacqueline Meyners.

About the Show

"It’s midnight, but that doesn’t mean the world slows down. Night Night, Roger Roger is a fanciful comedy about the world after the sun goes down. Roller-skating Nanas, kids with tin cans, literary-obsessed vampires, clumsy security guards, kids without tin cans, quirky game show hosts and more. This play is a plea for every person to stop growing up so fast—take your moment with the universe and enjoy it."

Rehearsals will begin on June 21, 2026, and the show will run August 7-9th and 12th-15th, 2026. Some tech roles, like stage management, will be required to attend all rehearsals; others, like designers, will begin rehearsals during tech week, July 31st-August 2nd, and dress rehearsals, August 4-6th.  Some, but not all, tech roles will be working during the run of the show, as well.  All tech interns will be invited to attend weekly production meetings, which may start as early as June 1st.

Who Should Apply

The Youth Summer Production gives teens interested in technical theater the unique opportunity to work one-on-one with a professional designer and/or working theater technician. Teens will shadow their mentors, and may have the opportunity to design elements of the show themselves.  This is a great opportunity for interested technical theater students to gain hands-on experience and understanding of the professional theater process.

All tech interns must be between ages 14-18.  All identities are welcome and encouraged to apply, regardless of race/ethnicity, gender identity, disability, neuro-diversity, etc.

Please note that this show will have between 4 to 7 intern roles available. All tech interns will receive a $100 stipend.
