Teaching Assistant, Summer Theatre Camp

Indiana Repertory Theatre is seeking Teaching Assistants (TAs) for its 2025 Theatre Summer Camp! The Indiana Repertory Theatre assistantship program offers an exciting opportunity for college and graduate students to gain professional experience by:

• working side-by-side with extraordinary artists, administrators, and technicians.

• partnering with each student, university, and department to develop a course of study that best meets the needs of all parties.
• delivering experienced-based, hands-on learning opportunities that provide the necessary skills to become a viable candidate in a highly competitive field.

The IRT Theatre Camp experience is an immersion into the creative process of theatre. Young people with a passion for this art form learn about theatre-making from professional actors, administrators, directors, and technicians, as well as their peers. Assistants work with children ages 5-15, assist professional teachers with daily assignments as well as leading theatre warm-up games, maintaining class spaces, and supporting administration. Prior to the start of camp, TAs might assist with Theatre Camp marketing, materials preparation, communication with families, and administrative support.

• Applicants with experience working in a classroom or camp setting are preferred.
• A theatre background is preferred, but not required.
