New Work Development
Risk. More than anything, that’s what developing new work involves. If you’re an artist interested in the risks – and rewards – of new work development, click here to learn more about why and how we do it.
Teaching Artists
Our education programs have been on quite a growth curve. To keep up with demand, we sometimes contract with independent, professional teaching artists for our classroom residencies, community programs, summer programs, and after-school programs. Click here to learn more about what skills we’re looking for in teaching artists and how to apply.
Internships
We love our work, and we consider it an honor and a privilege to encourage others to pursue professional paths in theater for youth, the arts, and/or the nonprofit sector.
