King High School campus, but the position will include serving on the 3-teacher High School Theatre Director Team for the purposes of supporting Productions, UIL One Act Play, Texas Thespians, and other team priorities. C.E. King High School is a 6A high school in Sheldon ISD of northeast Houston fed by 2 Middle Schools that both have full-time Theatre Directors and participate in UIL Theatre. The C.E. King HS Theatre program, which puts on multiple main stage theatre productions annually, has experienced a lot growth in both quality and size in the last few years, having earned Tommy Tune Awards and Nominations, advanced in the UIL One Act Play process, chartered a Texas Thespian troupe, started an Improv Theatre program, increased its specialized advanced Technical Theatre offerings, hosted/participated in the Texas Thespians Short Play Contest pilot project, and added an Inclusion Theatre program this year and a Musical Theatre for PE Credit class for next year. C.E. King High School is a relatively new facility with multiple theatre-specific spaces (including a full Scene Shop) and access to a beautiful and contest-ready Performing Arts Center, and this coming year, the district will open a brand new 9th/10th Grade Campus on the same grounds that will include an oversized Black Box, a theatre classroom, and Scene Shop facilities as the dedicated spaces for this position and will have access to a Fine Arts Gym for larger space for activities like choreography. The ideal candidate would have a background in Musical Theatre and choreography, successful experience in UIL One Act Play, and at least working knowledge in the various areas of Tech Theatre and Film, but all forms of Theatre experience will be considered, with final courseload based on your skills/experience relative to the 2 other High School Theatre Directors (though an ability to be successful with entry level theatre students in a Theatre Arts 1 introductory course is a basic expectation). At least a bachelor's degree in theatre or a relevant field, EC-12 Theatre Educator Certification, and the ability to succeed at Title I campuses is required. Professional theatre experience (acting, directing, and/or tech); youth/community educational theatre experience; film experience; ability to sew/costume; comfort with set/prop construction and tools; experience in Texas Thespians; and/or Dance, Music, or PE Educator Certification are all pluses but are not required. All candidates must be enthusiastic self-starters, positive role models and relationship-builders, team players, willing and able to successfully direct both large and small shows individually and in tandem with the director team, and able to handle administrative tasks with fidelity and independence.

Job Description: Here is the current division of classes: The other theatre teacher currently teaches 6th Grade Theatre (2 sections), Advanced Theatre (2 sections), and Multimedia (2 sections). This position would teach Theatre 7/8 (3 sections), Tech Theatre (1 section), and Multimedia (2 sections). A description of the classes you would teach: Theatre 7/8 is offered to all 7th and 8th graders on campus. It includes students with a wide range of experience—some are taking theatre for the first time, while others have participated every year in middle school. This is a year-long, general theatre course. Tech Theatre is also offered to all 7th and 8th graders and may be repeated. Some students will have prior experience, while others will be new. During production season, students use class time to support performances (costumes, props, set design, etc.). During the off-season, students learn about all aspects of technical theatre and apply their learning through hands-on projects. Multimedia is offered to all 7th and 8th graders, but it cannot be repeated. Students learn the fundamentals of video production through project-based learning. The curriculum has been thoughtfully developed in collaboration with Mrs. Bower, so it is accessible even for someone with limited prior experience. This class also produces the school’s daily video announcements. Please note that beginning next year, this course will count for high school credit, so the teacher in this position will need to hold (or obtain) EC–12 Technology Applications certification. This position would also alternate technical directing and directing the various CPMS productions. Contact Email: briana.bower@leanderisd.org
