Hello, everyone!
I've recently been asked to teach drama, drama tech and journalism as a part time teacher in a parochial school. I don't have any drama tech experience. I'm an English educator.
Based on the advice in this forum, would you guys suggest that someone like me not voluntarily take a job like this? I would be doing a one act play in March and a musical in May. Someone would come in and help with the vocal training for the musical, but otherwise I would be working on the play and technical aspects in school in my classes. I would be training a group of 14 students to do the lighting, sound, scenery, props, costumes, etc.
Can this be done? Can a person with no experience but a lot of passion and desire train kids to pull off solid productions?
I have purchased about 7-8 books and am currently doing my research. I'd love to hear your advice before I accept this job offer.
