Available Positions
Jenkintown Elementary Theatre Club Drama Director & Assistant Director
Jenkintown Elementary School is excited to launch a new spring JES Theatre Club production. This program invites students in grades K-6 to engage in the creative process as they rehearse and perform a production that may feature either student-written work or a selected published script. Whether developing original ideas or bringing an existing story to life, students will explore imaginative characters, creative storytelling, and the joy of performance.
We are seeking a Drama Director and Assistant Director to guide students through weekly rehearsals and prepare them for a culminating spring performance. These roles require creativity, flexibility, and a passion for working with elementary-aged students of varying developmental levels. This production emphasizes creativity and student ownership rather than large-scale technical design; however, candidates with both artistic and basic technical theatre skills are encouraged to apply.
Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis until the position is filled.
