The Back Track to Art

How do you pronounce “theater”? Do you stretch it out with Shakespearean aplomb? Thee-ay-taaaah. Or do you speak it from the diaphragm, revealing your inner motivations? Theuhtr. Whatever your preferred pronunciation, if you’ve given thought to this and similar questions, you may be exactly the type of person the Northfield Arts Guild is looking for to fill its open THEATER PROGRAM DIRECTOR position.

The Theater Program Director coordinates, oversees and promotes all aspects of six to eight season productions and non-season shows and events. He or she hires, guides, assists and evaluates directors and the technical director, works with theater committee members, and manages all aspects of the theater building and its schedule. The Program Director sets and oversees theater production and class budgets, creates contracts, and pays stipends, and encourages and finds teachers and classes for new and continuing theater-related course offerings and camps.

This position is part-time, about 20 hours per week. Candidates should have a bachelor’s degree or equivalent plus two to four years of related experience. Send letter of interest and resume by June 27 to Northfield Arts Guild, 304 Division Street, Northfield MN  55057.
