Call for Instructors

The Pumphouse Theatre is now accepting applications for three (3) full-time drama instructor positions for our annual Summer Drama Day Camp. One of these positions will be designated as a Lead Instructor.

Drama camp activities include the exploration of acting, improvisation, creative movement, voice, sound, storytelling, and playwriting.

The instructors also facilitate their students in developing a production, which is performed for friends and family on the final day of camp. Pumphouse Theatre believes in drama education that encourages creativity, freedom, and a healthy sense of play in our youth.

The Drama Instructors will work under the guidance of the Programming Director to assist in program development and be responsible for the overall execution and creation of the curriculum. Instructors will also work closely in a leadership relationship with Camp Counselors.
