​We’re planning our twelfth season!  We’d like to expand and update our roster of SW Washington and Portland-area theater professionals: directors, music directors, choreographers, designers, stage managers, technicians, teachers, makeup artists, musicians and other artists that intersect with theatre. If you are interested in working with MPA, please submit a current résumé, a link to your portfolio or images/video of your work if you have them, and your responses to the prompts below through the medium(s) that allow(s) you to express yourself most comfortably and completely (video, audio recording, and/or writing). 

• Tell us about the scope of your experience and if you have areas of focus or specialization. 
• Is there a particular kind of work that most interests or excites you?
• If you have experience specifically in theatre with youth, or teaching, what are the unique opportunities and/or challenges? 
• And most of all, we want to hear about you, who you are as a human being and a theatre professional, and what conditions make it possible for you to thrive and do your very best work. 
  ​

Please submit to exec.director@MetropolitanPerformingArts.org including “MPA Hiring Call [Your Name]” in the subject line. We prefer if you send all supporting documents as a single PDF. Recordings can be sent as a file or a link to Dropbox, Google Drive, or YouTube. Please also include 2 references. 

MPA is an equal opportunity employer. We will not discriminate against anyone on the basis of age, gender, marital status, physical/mental ability, race, religion, or sexual orientation. We seek to actively promote diversity in everything we do.
