Powerhouse Theater is dedicated to the artistic development of emerging and established artists. The Training Program offers students a unique opportunity to dive headfirst into a conservatory-like intensive on the Vassar College campus. Actors, directors, and writers hone their respective crafts through both class work and practical experiences. By engaging with professional theater companies and artists who are in residence each summer, students deepen their understanding of the art and the industry. A summer at Powerhouse exposes students to new theater making possibilities through a process of self-discovery.
We are looking to cast an ensemble of theater lovers to form the 2026 Powerhouse Theater Training Program cohort. Join us for our 40th Season! You, along with our adventurous producing partners and dedicated audiences, will be part of a crucial community that gives time and space to artists of the American theater.
