As an alum, I felt I should post.

program emphasizing professional theatre practice, seeks a dynamic, energetic, 
and creative theatre artist/technician in a fulltime Instructor position to 
supervise our scene shop and instruct our students in state-of-the-art scenic 
technologies. We seek a colleague with recent professional practice and an 
attention to detail suited to the production of quality craftsmanship, while

practices (in compliance with EHS and OSHA/NFPA guidelines), the coordination 
of the shop space in a safe and orderly fashion, and maintenance of the scene 
shop facility, tools and equipment. The successful candidate will instruct 
students on our productions with a hands-on approach during all phases of
