Summer Job Opening

I'm planning on hiring a post-secondary student this summer, after being contacted by the folks at Brock University. On the off-chance I don't get any takers I thought I'd post the job here as well, in case anyone's interested. There's not a lot of money to be made, but if you're interested in getting a TON of experience in Children's Theatre and Education this summer this could be an ideal position for you (or someone you know - please pass this on).

Summer Job Posting: Director of Children’s Programming
