The National Theatre of Allston serves as a professional internship for students who have demonstrated superior dedication and ability in their work within the Theatre Department. In 2004, Professor Wesley Savick launched the company to create original, experimental, political theatre in Boston and received a residency at the Boston Playwrights Theatre. The company is comprised exclusively of Suffolk University students and alumni and was conceived to provide select students with a transitional opportunity between their undergraduate experience and the professional world. Students may apply by submitting a letter of interest to the Theatre Department by the end of the fall term. For more information on participating for credit, see Courses.
