A series of retirements puts our Musical Theatre program in a period of transition, providing an extraordinary opportunity for a highly motivated leader to develop and implement a vision of training for the musical theatre performing artist in the 21st century. The primary professional responsibilities of this instructional faculty member are: teaching undergraduate courses in musical theatre; directing, choreographing and/or performing (specific to the expertise of the candidate) in Mainstage productions, Studio Series, showcases, and workshop productions of musicals, as part of the regular assignment; and providing leadership and vision in the area through curriculum and policy development, student performance and course assessments. In addition, faculty responsibilities include advising students, maintaining office hours, recruitment of a diverse population of students and faculty (both adjunct and full-time), service in Department, College, University, and system-wide committees, and working collaboratively and productively with colleagues.

Positive tenure and promotion decisions require excellent teaching; an active and successful program of scholarly research and/or creative activities in the discipline; and strong leadership contributions to Department, College and University committees and to external professional organizations that serve the broader disciplinary community.
