/Job Title:
Preschool Musical Theatre Instructor
Organization:

Deadline:
Dec. 15, 2026 or Until Filled
Organization Description:
Lights Up is a performing arts program with a purpose. We believe that the fundamentals of theatre help young people shine; not just on stage, but in every part of their lives. Every student has a place here. Every voice matters. And every week is about more than the final bow.
Our approach is simple and powerful: equal time in singing, dancing, and acting, so every child can discover what they love, build new skills, and grow with confidence, no matter their experience level. Along the way, they learn teamwork, make lasting friendships, and create memories that stay long after the spotlight fades.
There’s a performer in all of us. Whether your child bursts into spontaneous song-and-dance routines or needs a gentle, supportive space to come out of their shell, Lights Up is where they can shine.
