The Rock Springs Main Street/Urban Renewal Agency (URA), the Broadway Theater, and the Sweetwater Board of Cooperative Education Services (BOCES) are are thrilled to announce Emily DeBernardi’s completion as their 2023 Fall/Winter Intern. She will be continuing as the 2024 Winter/Spring Internship.
DeBernardi is a freshman this year at Western Wyoming Community College, majoring in Business Management. Her future goals are to become a tattoo artist, and specializing in large art installation pieces. Her involvement in theatre spans several years, working on shows at Rock Springs High School and with the Actors’ Mission and The Starling Company. A few of the productions on her resume include Drag Me to ’24: A New Year’s Eve Dragstravaganza, The Rocky Horror Show, The Little Shop of Horrors, Rock of Ages, and Mamma Mia!.
“Last semester was great,” commented DeBernardi. “I connected with a lot of people and got to experience the ups and downs of the theater community. Excited to continue in 2024.”
The internship program is funded by the Sweetwater BOCES. SBOCES members are excited about funding this program, as opposed to merely providing performance support, according to Dr. Rev. Bernadine Craft, SBOCES Executive Director.
“This enhanced program gives students hands-on experience with all aspects of the theater and performing arts, as well as grant writing and business management skills, reinforcing their classroom studies,” Craft said in a press release.
