Job Description

The Bond Creative Advancement Project is proud to partner with Huron Station Playhouse on its inaugural Summer PlayLab, an immersive youth theater program for students ages 15–18 (Classes of 2026–2029).

Hosted at Huron Station Playhouse in Cypress Park, Los Angeles, the program will offer two tracks—Acting and Playwriting—in a collaborative, ensemble-based environment. Over the course of the summer, students will develop original work, build their creative voices, and prepare for a public showcase of new material. Teaching faculty will also serve in a directing role as part of the culminating presentation.

Founded by Alden Ehrenreich and Julie Cohn, Huron Station Playhouse was created out of a belief in the importance of live theater in an increasingly digital and AI-driven age. Rooted in imagination, human connection, presence, and artistic risk-taking, Huron is committed to creating space for artists and audiences to gather around the unique power of live performance.

We are currently seeking teaching artists in the Los Angeles area for both tracks. We are looking for artists who have experience working with youth ages 15–18 and who are excited by mentorship, collaboration, and the opportunity to help shape a meaningful inaugural program for young theater makers.

Responsibilities include:

• Teaching and mentoring students in either Acting or Playwriting
• Being available to work in person Monday through Friday, approximately 10:00 a.m.–4:00 p.m., during the program period
• Helping create a supportive, rigorous, ensemble-based learning environment
• Collaborating with fellow faculty and program leadership
• Guiding students in the development of original work
• Serving in a directing role as students prepare for the final public showcase

Ideal candidates will have:

• Experience teaching theater or playwriting to youth ages 15–18
• A strong artistic practice in acting, directing, or playwriting
• A collaborative and mentorship-driven approach
• Availability to work in person in Los Angeles during July and August 2026

This is a paid opportunity, with compensation currently being finalized and shared with selected candidates. As this program is being developed within a nonprofit context, we are especially interested in faculty who value mentorship and are inspired by the opportunity to encourage, support, and make a lasting impact on young theater makers.

How to Apply

Please send a resume and cover letter to both:

emma@huronstation.org

monica@bondbcap.org

In your cover letter, please briefly address:

• Your teaching experience, particularly with ages 15–18

• Why you are interested in being part of this inaugural program

Application deadline: May 15, 2026

Late applications may still be considered depending on availability.
