The person in this position will direct in our production season, teach directing at all levels, mentor students in directing projects, and teach required and elective courses in the BS curriculum (e.g. Intro to Theater, Literature Electives, Special Topics Courses, etc.).  The department is particularly interested in candidates who bring a secondary area of expertise or interest in Queer and/or Trans Theater. Expertise in Dramaturgy, and/or Acting with an emphasis on intimacy and combat, is also welcome.
