Requirements
The successful candidate will have post-secondary education in drama/theatre or education (or equivalent), have basic office skills to communicate concepts, describe programs, understand budgets, manage, plan and report on programming. Previous experience with Artist Residencies in schools, teaching or theatre making activities is an asset.
