Hi, I’m not sure if this is the best place to post this.
A teacher at one of the schools I volunteer for asked if I could pass along this notice. I’ve not worked with him, or this organization, so I cannot say anything about the position or the quality of the group.
"I am looking for a Technical Director for my summer production of Macbeth. I need someone who can build and would be willing to go on tour in the month of July. It is basically a full-time gig at $25 an hour for the month of July. If you know anyone who would be interested in working with a local touring company, please let me know.
Below is the job description. This is through the Maryland National Capital Parks and Planning Commission."
