I have been acting here at this Theater for 3 years now and just got asked if I would be a intern. I told them I would most certainly love ot do it. I am actually hoping to become the Music Director(Composer) apprentice. I proably would be able to start apprentincing soon being that I am only 13 years old. Please any advice would be lovely!

Stick with it! It is quite refreshing seeing someone here who sees beyond acting into a whole realm of wonderful opportunities in theater. You didn't mention what city you are in, but if you are near New York, or ever plan to go there, you should really look into this Theatre Intern Group:

*NOTE*
The answer above me was great, but this person asked you for personal information about where you physically are located and the location of the theater. Since you mentioned that you are a 13 year old, and you have a photo of yourself, NEVER give out personal information to strangers! I am on the Board Of Directors of the internet organization "Child Predator Busters", and always keep my eyes peeled for anything that could be potentially harmful to minors. I am not accusing "Theater Doc" of anything, but NEVER EVER give your location, phone number, or ANY type of personal information to ANYONE on the internet!!! Predators lie about who they are and what there intentions are, always assume that a person is not who they say they are, and be DILIGENT!
*NOTE*
I noticed you took down your real photo, and put up an avitar. Good choice!

Sounds like an amazing opportunity! My best advice would be to find a mentor. Find a person at the theater with a job you'd like to have, and learn as much from them as possible. If you're lucky, they'll be nice to you and help you out. Ask a lot of questions! Be a good observer and learn from those around you. Best of luck to you.

Watch out for the trap door.
