GreenStage is seeking summer camp educators for 2026.
This is a week-by-week camp teaching/directing gig held outside in parks around King and Snohomish County.
Theatre Teaching Artists must love, understand, and know how to teach Shakespeare to 9-16-year-old campers, or know enough Shakespeare to tell some of his stories or read them to 5-8-year-old campers. Positions take high energy and imagination.
Teaching Artists must know how to manage children, play drama games, and put together a bare-bones show in a week. Scripts and supplies are provided.
Stage combat experience is required for one of the camps to be able to teach it.
Camps open July 6th and close August 7th. The longest camp is 5 hours daily, and some camps are as short as 3 hours. Each camp lasts one week.
