Job Openings

  • DCP is seeking Teaching Artists to instruct our fall Youth Ensemble Workshops.  Ensemble Workshops are for students age 8-16, at all levels of experience.  Each Ensembles rehearses twice a week for ten weeks beginning in September and continuing through performances in November, with breaks for major holidays. 

    Ensemble Workshops offer students both instruction and production experience.  Ensembles will be grouped by age and will be assigned a script.  Instructors will then use theatre-related activities to teach the skills essential to effectively creating a fully-staged production.  Process should be emphasized over final product.
