Drama teachers often encounter the challenge of engaging students with varying levels of interest, confidence, and experience in performing arts. Managing group dynamics and encouraging participation from shy or reluctant students requires creativity and patience.

Job description

Part-Time Drama Teacher

Where Imaginations Run Wild and Confidence Takes Center Stage! 

What Drama Kids Can Do for YOU: 

  • Give you the chance to make a real difference in kids’ lives — helping them shine with confidence, creativity, and communication skills.
  • Offer a fun, supportive team environment where your personality and ideas are celebrated.
  • Provide paid training and a proven, easy-to-follow curriculum (no scripts or stage fright required!)
  • Flexible Schedule — usually 2-3 hours per week.
  • Monday–Friday between 2–4 PM.
  • This is a part-time role designed to supplement your income, not a full-time position.
  • Opportunities to grow your skills in teaching, leadership, and performance.
  • And yes, you get paid to play — think robots, aliens, superheroes, and improv games that keep both you and the kids laughing.

About Us:

Drama Kids isn’t your typical after-school program. We “Act Up” with purpose — using creative drama to spark imagination and build life skills. No sets. No auditions. Just energy, creativity, and FUN!

What You’ll Do (the easy part — we’ll train you!): 

  • Lead creative drama classes for kids ages 5–12 in schools and community locations around Apollo Beach, Valrico, and Brandon.
  • Guide warm-ups, theater games, mini-scripts, and help prepare students for their end-of-year showcase.
  • Encourage shy kids, spotlight budding stars, and be the highlight of their week.
  • Build great relationships with students and families along the way.

What We’re Looking For:

  • Full School Year Commitment: September – May 
  • Enthusiastic, dependable, and positive role models.
  • Someone who enjoys working with kids and can confidently lead a class. Confident managing a class.
  • Reliable transportation and the ability to commit to the school year (Sept–May). 
  • Must be at least 18 years old. 
  • Bonus points if you have theater or teaching experience — but not required, we’ll train you!

Perks: 

  • Paid to play (seriously, we act like aliens and robots for a living)
  • Make a real impact and change little lives
  • Flexible schedule and flexible locations
  • Great pay and team culture
  • Be part of the world’s largest drama program!

Why Join the World’s Largest Drama Program? Because this isn’t just a job — it’s a chance to inspire kids, have fun, and bring confidence center stage. If you’re fun, reliable, and passionate about creativity, apply today and let’s make magic happen together!
