Description
The New Victory Theater seeks dynamic, highly skilled, creative teaching artists for Part Time/Seasonal Employment for the 2018-2019 season.
A project of The New 42nd Street and a 2012 special Drama Desk award-winner, The New Victory Theater is New York City’s first and only full-time performing arts theater for kids and families, students and teachers. The New Victory is dedicated to presenting high quality performing arts productions at affordable ticket prices for both the school and family audiences.
The work of the Education Department is inspired by the live performances on the New Victory stage. The nationally-recognized New Victory Education programs connect the visiting artists to the audience and all of our constituents to the performing arts. Our programs strive to be accessible, inviting Pre-K – 12th grade students, teachers, kids, families and communities of New York City and beyond to play, learn and engage in the arts. This commitment is realized through core Education Programs for the school community through Daytime Performances, Classroom Workshops/Residencies, and Teacher Professional Development. The Education Department fosters deeper experiences with the theater for New Victory families/public audiences through Family Workshops, Lobby Engagement, Kids Weeks and the Youth Corps Programs.
