COVENANT COLLEGE

Covenant College Department of Communications is looking to fill the position of assistant/associate professor of theatre arts.  The position will involve teaching, supervision of student workers, directing one musical and possibly one other show annually, in addition to other duties as deemed appropriate.  Terminal degree required, broad experience in a variety of production elements – acting, directing, technical work -- preferred.  Strong ability to integrate Christian thought and theatre practice a must.
       

Covenant College's theatre program is a growing one and we look to find a candidate who will help us broaden our course offerings – preferably in the areas of technical theatre and theatre history/lit/crit – thus building a strong major.  Our goal for our students is to produce “missionaries to the theatre” -- i.e., people skilled enough in their craft to work in the dramatic professions and strong enough in their Christian thought, discipleship and love to serve their hurting and broken colleagues in the theatre and film worlds, while challenging and refreshing audiences and glorifying the God of truth, goodness and beauty with their work. Covenant is the denominational school of the Presbyterian Church in America and as such seeks to integrate Christian worldview, particularly in it's Reformed theological manifestation, into the form and content of all course work.
