GreenStage is seeking summer camp educators for 2024.
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 8 and close August 9th. The longest camp is 5 hours daily, and some camps are as short as 3 hours. Each camp lasts one week.

Theatre Teaching Artist stipend is $25 an hour for the scheduled time with campers.
