Local housing is not provided. The Costume Coordinator will be expected to work with up to 30 students ages 6–13 with varying levels of experience. All applicants must have up-to-date Pennsylvania and Federal clearances.

The Youth Ensemble Series at The Media Theatre is a refreshed program that began in 2020!

The ideal candidate is comfortable working independently within a budget and has excellent time-management skills.
