Silverna Scott Internship

silverna_scottBag&Baggage Productions is pleased to manage a commemorative internship in honor of Silverna Scott who retired from Hillsboro High School after more than 20 years leading Hilhi’s theatre arts program. B&B has been working with Silverna for a number of years, engaging with Hilhi’s theatre students in workshops and via paid internships with the company.

Scott Palmer, B&B’s Founding Artistic Director and graduate of Hillsboro High School in 1986, said, “Sil has been a champion; not only for us, but for her students. Over the past few years, her involvement with Bag&Baggage has increased our ability to reach out to students with a passion for the performing arts and connect with them in powerful ways, both in and outside of the classroom. We want to ensure that future students from Hilhi understand and remember the important contributions she has made to both the school’s theatre program and the broader theatrical community in Hillsboro. The Silverna Scott Internship Award allows us to do just that.”

Bag&Baggage offers a number of paid internships for students from throughout Hillsboro each year; the Silverna Scott Internship Award will be a dedicated award for one student per year from Hillsboro High School to receive a pre-professional internship experience with Bag&Baggage. The internship focuses on stage management and will provide the student with the opportunity to work alongside Bag&Baggage’s professional actors and crew members during one of the company’s productions each year.

The Silverna Scott Internship will be awarded to a junior or senior from Hillsboro High School who evidences a commitment to the work of the theatre and who has an interest in developing skills in stage management or theatrical production. The award will be publicized to Hillsboro High School students at the beginning of each school year. The successful student will receive professional internship training and a stipend of $250.
