AMP: Artists' Meeting Place and Resource Collective

Cornerstone Theater Company is now seeking applications for the annual
Altvater Fellowship.

Cornerstone's Altvater Fellowship Program provides educational and
professional development to individuals interested in theater and
community. Altvater Fellows explore a wide range of experiences in the
planning and creation of a Cornerstone production. Over an eight-week
residency, Fellows work full-time with Cornerstone's Ensemble and
Staff on many aspects of current community collaborations as well as
immersion in the unique culture of the company.

This year Cornerstone offers one Altvater Fellowship that will focus
on all aspects of the 2009 Cornerstone Institute Summer Residency with
a production and/or producing focus. Applications are available now
and the deadline to apply is February 20.

The Altvater Fellowship is a full-time position that requires a
consecutive eight-week commitment between May 1 and August 15, 2009.
While the Fellowship includes a stipend of $2,000, travel and lodging
costs and arrangements are the sole responsibility of the chosen Fellow.
