Acting Teachers & Coaches

Improv Director

bullet

Intern:
Our interns are high school graduates who are looking for a summer of experience working in the arts, and with children.  This is a volunteer position only, but we do write excellent recommendations for our staff!  Interns may volunteer for full or half days.

bullet

Apprentice:
Our apprentice program allows college students to gain much needed experience working with children and sharing their knowledge of performing.  We certainly value how they share their craftsmanship and experience, fresh from their college courses!  Apprentices receive a small weekly stipend.

bullet

Lead Teacher:
Lead teachers do just that -- they lead.  The lead teachers are like our camp counselors; they work and bond with a particular group of students that they stay with for the entire session.  Lead teachers must be skilled in directing and acting, as these are the primary skills needed.  One lead teacher is needed for each of the camp age levels.  Lead teachers receive a weekly stipend.

bullet

Master Class Teacher:
Master Class teachers are hired to teach one or two classes of their specialty.  Rates vary for this service, and we are very agreeable to hire you on trade.  (Student tuition, DCT tickets, etc.)  Please contact us if you can teach one of the following:  dance (different genres desired), voice, improvisation, acting, mime, puppetry, or any technical theatre genre.

bullet

Director:
Our directors are hired to work with all students throughout the day.  There are three to four morning classes lasting 45-60 minutes each (one for each camp level.) After lunch, the directors work to put together the showcase.  Afternoons may be spent working with individuals or small groups, or helping to run a rehearsal.  Directors receive a weekly stipend.

If you are interested in lending your talents to the DCT-SEP, please contact Linda St George and send your name, phone number, and mailing address, as well as what position you are interested in.  You may want to submit a resume with your email or application.  An application will be sent to you ASAP.
