HAMILTON-GIBSON SUMMER INTERNSHIP APPLICATIONS ARE BEING ACCEPTED NOW
Hamilton-Gibson Productions, the Wellsboro-based community theater arts group, is accepting applications for up to three summer internship positions for college-age students.
Stipends are provided thanks to the generous sponsorship of Eugene Seelye, a former art professor who has a keen interest in encouraging enterprising young people who are interested in the arts.
Each internship begins in mid-May and continues until early August offering experiences with this small town, non-profit performing arts group.
“To give our interns a true feel for what is involved in community theater, they will participate in the production of ‘The Old Cookie Shop,’ a family-friendly melodrama being presented on June 15, 16, 17 and 18 during the 2023 Laurel Festival; plan and staff our one-week summer theater arts camp on June 26, 27, 28, 29 and 30 for students who complete the third through ninth grades this June; and assist with our major summer musical production ‘Mary Poppins’ set for July 13, 14, 15 and 16 and with our ‘Broadway Under The Stars’ outdoor concert,” said Thomas Putnam, Hamilton-Gibson Productions artistic director.
“We try to fit the focus of each intern’s activities to his or her skills and interests. We’ve had interns who are more interested in the administration and public relations side of running a non-profit, and others whose interests are in performing and/or backstage work,” Putnam said.
Interns can act on stage, serve as stage manager or house manager, assist with set building, strike work, sound, lighting or other backstage responsibilities as well as marketing, fundraising, and more.
The interns will spend some time working in the HG office at 29 Water Street in Wellsboro involved with social media marketing and the ongoing coordination and organizing of HG’s costume inventory. “There is mundane work that needs to be done as well but it’s all part of the flurry of activities in a performing arts group,” said Putnam.
Applications to be a summer intern can be found at the www.hamiltongibson.org website, downloaded, completed and mailed to Hamilton-Gibson Productions at 29 Water Street, Wellsboro, PA 16901 or can be obtained by emailing the HG office at hamgib@gmail.com or calling 570-724-2079. An in-person or Zoom interview will then be scheduled. “Applications will be accepted until we fill the positions,” Putnam said.

COUDERSPORT & AREA LIONS ACTIVITIES
The Coudy Lions have kept busy during the winter months, continuing their weekly recycling at the Borough site. The monies collected from the donations that our citizens give plus the money made from aluminum and tin have allowed the club to continue to support our community.
Since last fall, several requests have been made for eyeglasses for adults and children. These requests were unusually more costly as the eyeglass needs were more specialized.
Our Salvation Army Bell Ringing Campaign last November and December proved successful, thanks to the generosity of our local citizens. New members Ron and Karen Hallett joined the fun, ringing the bell and greeting customers at the Dollar Store. A special thank you to the store for allowing us to set up out front. We raised $1000 dollars this year!!
This money stays local, going to our local region and is made available to local families during times of need, such as a fire and loss of their home.
With spring upon us, the club is gearing up for their road clean up along route 6, going west out of town.
We also plan to bring back the Strawberry Festival the first Friday in June, the day before the Marathon!! We look forward to seeing folks again as they enjoy the berries and ice cream. More on that will be posted!!
We welcome anyone who would like to become a Lion. We meet the first Monday of each month, at the Coudersport Ambulance Hall, at 5:30! Join Us!
