Director of Technical Theatre and Assistant Professor of Theatre

Centenary College of Louisiana invites applications for a promotion-track faculty appointment for Centenary Theatre Program beginning January 2027. Centenary Theatre Program (CTP) seeks skilled candidates to teach 1-2 technical theatre courses per semester, while also serving as the Director of Technical Theatre for the program. Courses may include general and specialized courses in technical theatre, stagecraft, AutoCAD and other departmental offerings as needed in a liberal arts environment. As Director of Technical Theatre, other duties include managing CTP work-study students, maintaining primary oversight and leadership of construction of sets, scenery, and props for our four annual main stage productions, including active management of the scene shop, costume shop, lighting and audio booths, and backstage areas. A terminal degree in Theatre (MFA) in the area of Technical Direction or Scenic Design is required. Professional experience in technical direction is preferred.

CTP is a vibrant, growing theatre program focused on the professional success of our students. We view CTP as a brief, yet crucial period in the professional lives of our students. When they graduate, they will have both the skills and professional acumen to flourish either in graduate school or straight into their

professional careers.
