Honolulu Theatre for Youth seeks a dynamic, skilled, creative teaching artist for the 2026- 2027 season (August 2026- May 2027) as our services are consistently in demand. The Drama Education Department serves the community through Classroom Workshops/Residencies, Community-based drama programs and Teacher Professional Development. The Teaching artist position, in collaboration with HTY Drama Education staff, is primarily responsible for designing and conducting in-school residencies across O‘ahu, and if warranted, across the state, as well as other workshops, classes and programs on an as needed basis determined by the HTY Director of Drama Education. As most work is done off-site, teaching artists need to provide their own transportation, with gas or travel allowances provided by the company.

HTY is always interested in developing relationships with freelance directors, designers, technicians, musicians and interested collaborators. We are especially interested in developing relationships with residents of Oahu. Please send resumes and cover letters to our Artistic Director at artistic@htyweb.org.
