ARTIST EDUCATOR
For 28 years, 24th Street Theatre has been considered by LA County educators as one of the leaders in arts education. We are looking to hire a talented artist educator to teach sequential, school-day, after-school, and/or summer-school theatre classes. With our guidance, artist educators will design theatre class curriculum for students with varied experience in the art form. Classes may take place at 24th Street Theatre or at school sites.
We believe that teaching is a performing art and are looking for an experienced theatre educator who is dynamic and skilled. The ideal candidate is funny, warm, knowledgeable, and passionate. We want to keep students engaged and excited while teaching them about this magical art form. We seek to form long and mutually beneficial relationships with our artist educators for years to come and are looking for those available to work consistently throughout the 25/26 school year.
