One paragraph on why you want to work there

For my Target Theatre, I have selected The Barn Theatre in Augusta,
Michigan. They run a season in repertory throughout the Summer and
Fall. This particular apprenticeship program provides Equity

Membership Candidacy for the interns performing in the season. The
actors are paid weekly and are provided housing and transportation. A
former theatre instructor of mine formerly worked at The Barn Theatre
for fifteen years as their Music Director. He has volunteered to be a
reference, and I hope to include to his referral and association in my
cover letter. Looking through the lists of their previous seasons, the
shows that they perform appear very enticing. For the performers
enrolled in the apprenticeship, training opportunities are made
available along with the performance opportunities as well. The idea of
working far out of state seems very exciting also. Looking at these
factors, the personal knowledge Ive gained from my former instructor,
and the more detailed information listed above, I would very much like
to apply and work as a performing intern at The Barn Theatre in
Augusta, Michigan.
