Teaching Artist Training for Teaching Artists

The American Place Theatre is expanding our core of independently contracted, experienced Teaching Artists for our LITERATURE TO LIFE® Stage Presentations, Living Library, Residency and Professional Development programming.

Literature to Life®, The American Place Theatre's renowned drama-based literacy program, is accepting applications from professional Teaching Artists for enrollment in Teaching Artist Training. We are well-poised to add new talent to our growing Company, and we are looking for passionate individuals who approach their work with creativity, enthusiasm, and professionalism.

Each participant who completes the Training program in its entirety will be strongly considered for work as a Teaching Artist with Literature to Life. Potential work includes facilitation of pre/post show discussions and in-school residencies.

Complete details, dates, and application information are included in the downloadable PDF brochure below. Accepted participants will receive a modest stipend for the Training.

LITERATURE TO LIFE®, The American Place Theatre's performance-based literacy program, presents professionally staged verbatim adaptations of significant American literary works. The educational programs give students new ways to access literature by bringing to life the world of books through performances and residencies that create an atmosphere of discovery and spark the imagination. Our performances tour locally and nationally, and the 2008-09 academic season already promises to expand our national presence exponentially.
