Interning on Broadway?

[KatieYoung]

Hello all,

My name is Katie and I'm a stage management student at NYU and I am eagerly searching for an internship that focuses on stage management.  So far I've only found ones at 2nd stage and Manhattan Theatre Club and am wondering if there is any way to intern on broadway shows -- especially if I don't have any connections. 

On a related note, what is the best way to go about getting observation/shadow opportunities?

Thank you for the advice, this is such a great site!
