Summer Staff: Information and Applications

• Do you need a summer job?
• Do you like working with teenagers?

Apply for a Summer Youth Program Residential Staff position at the Department of Theatre and Dance!

General Information:

Scavenger Hunt, summer 2010

This summer, the Department of Theatre and Dance will host two residential summer programs from June through the beginning of August.

The Texas Musical Theatre Workshop (TMTW) is a three-week program designed to foster the development of new musicals and provide a bridge for high school and college aged artists to the professional world.

The American Ballet Theatre Summer Intensive, a four-week program geared toward talented young dancers age 12-18.

Residential staff members for both programs live in the dormitory with the students, chaperone to and from the dorm and classes as well as during classes, and assist and accompany the students in each step of the program, making sure their needs and concerns are met — and most importantly, helping them have a great time!

In addition, residential staff members are invited to participate in selected classes, offering a great opportunity to learn from professional faculty.
