“I’m so grateful for that training,” Cory
said. “I was so inspired by the gifted staff,
volunteers, and youth artists.”
Cory has since worked full time as a
summer theater director at Centerstage
Academy of the Performing Arts. He also
worked as a touring theatre performer
with Virginia Repertory Theater in Richmond,
Virginia.
“I still feel that my summer internship
with The Naples Players gave me the
building blocks for my career,” he said.
In his new, full-time role Cory will work
as the Education Assistant, continuing
to work with youth artists here at The
Naples Players.
TNP Internship Director and Production
Stage Manager, Cole Butcher said Cory
was the perfect fit for the inaugural summer
internship program, which continues
to train future theatre professionals right
here in Naples.
“We’re delighted to have Cory back on
staff,” Butcher said. “He has a bright and
personable attitude that made him perfect
for the internship, and now he has
the experience to tackle a full-time position,
thanks in large part to our internship
program.”
The Naples Players continues to grow
and expand their year-long Production Internship
Program with emphasis on education,
directing, props, sound, and more.
