Want to make a difference in the lives of kids with your passion for theatre? We may have just the job for you!

As a part-time Drama Club Teaching Artist, you?ll help kids discover the joy of performing as you teach after-school drama clubs onsite at elementary and/ or middle schools in the Louisville area. Generally, our drama clubs meet once a week for eight weeks during each semester (fall and spring). They always culminate in the performance of a short play.

Instructors teach two or more clubs each week. We provide an in-depth orientation, lesson plans, play scripts, props, and all of the other resources you need to successfully put on a play with children. You provide the energy, talent, and enthusiasm for theatre that will empower your students to succeed!

Drama by George is a Louisville-based educational theatre provider. We grow students with compassion and character through the power of stories. Since 2007, we?ve presented live performances, theatre workshops, summer camps, and after-school drama clubs to more than 88,000 students in the Kentuckiana region.
