Theatre Job Opening: Eastside Story Guild / Grandview Calvary Baptist

Want a job?

Hello Ron -
I've been in touch with you before about our small theatre project called The Eastside Story Guild when we entered our life of David piece into the Vancouver Fringe Festival. We've recently received funding (through a World Vision partnership) that will enable us to hire a Theatre Arts Program Director and a World Music Program Director. Each position is 1/2 time (approx. $21,000 annually with benefits). While the Story Guild is intergenerational the bulk of the program is with children and youth so these positions require an enthusiasm working with kids in the performing arts. They also require someone committed to the Christian story and vision.
I thought you might have suggestions on where we might post these positions or connections to individuals in the arts community here in Vancouver and beyond who might want to spend a few years with this small but exciting initiative in community theatre. I''ve attached both the announcement and the more extended descriptions. I welcome any leads.
