The Allen Lee Hughes BIPOC Fellowship Program

The Allen Lee Hughes BIPOC Fellowship Program is restarting after the pandemic for the 2022/23 season and reclaiming its roots as a professional training program for individuals who self-identify as BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color).

The goal of Arena Stage’s fellowship program is to cultivate the next generation of BIPOC theater professionals by providing the highest standard of training through immersion in the art and business of producing theater. Successful candidates are highly motivated individuals who are interested in pursuing a career in the arts.

The program offers personalized training and in-depth, hands-on experience with top-tier professionals in artistic and technical production, arts administration, arts education and community outreach. Additionally, all fellows receive:

• Mentorship from Arena Stage staff members, including senior staff
• Professional development workshops
• Monthly meetings with directors, designers, and senior staff administrators who provide insight into the overall management of the theater
• A fellowship stipend

Application period opens on December 6, 2021 and closes on February 11, 2022
