Education Coordinator; Part-Time

Philadelphia Children's Theater is hiring a part-time Education Coordinator to help build and grow their education programs.

Philadelphia Children's Theater is currently running 2 theater classes for children ages 6-12 at the Adrienne Theatre in Philadelphia on Saturdays, with plans for continued programming in the winter and spring, as well as camps next summer at a TBD location in Philadelphia. A growing teen apprentice program attached to PACT's professional theater season is also in process.

• Work with the Artistic Director to envision the future of our education department and plan future education programming.
• Develop new and existing curricula with the Artistic Director and Lead Teaching Artists.
• Work with the Artistic Director to select and hire Teaching Artists. The Education Coordinator is also welcome to lead or assist classes in addition to this position.

• Attend a brief weekly check-in with the Artistic Director, as needed.

Philadelphia Children's Theater does not currently have a permanent home. All work outside of class time is remote at this time.

A class session is underway. The Education Coordinator will need to jump into some classroom support right away, including attending the final session of classes on November 14, 9:30-12:30.

This position will naturally evolve and expand over time. We are seeking someone who will want to grow the role or share it with a co-coordinator in the near future.

• Previous work in arts administration is preferred.
