On a hunt for a teaching job in theatre...

[forbiddenpluto]

Anyone know of anywhere that's in need of a Drama/Theatre teacher? Really anywhere? I know these jobs are hard to come by. I also know that alot of the private school jobs are found by word of mouth. Thanks to anyone who has any leads.

I have a bachelors in Theater Arts and worked for the past 7 years in Disney Entertainment. :)

If this is off topic please feel free to delete. :)

I worked for this principal at a different school last year and did not see eye to eye with him but maybe you'll have better luck.

I just realized that the link doesn't work correctly;

Here's the important information:
NC Teacher License in Theater Arts Education(108); Master's degree and/or three to five years of teaching experience desired; Effective oral and written communication skills; Effective student management skills. Must possess the ability to establish and maintain effective communication with students, parents and other staff personnel; Effective student management skills; Minimum Computer Literacy Level 1 Competency required.

2006-2007 School Year at Pender High School, 5380 NC Hwy. 53 West, Burgaw, NC 28425; PHONE: (910)259-0162; FAX: (910)259-0166 Principal: Mr. Robbie Cauley

Don't be put off by the masters degree. That is something on every job description there including the one that I have and I don't have a masters degree.

You can apply online here:

But the main thing is to call the principal and fax your resume.

You could try the Chronicle of Higher Education. It's on the web. www.chronicle.com (I think). This is a site primarily for university postings. I've heard of people without graduate degrees teaching in your field at univeristies as long as they have a sufficient background and some experience. Don't know if it'll help but Good Luck:thumb

My university (www.wou.edu) has a program in theater but I am not sure if they are looking for instructors.
