CURRICULUM

Matchbox Children's Theatre values your time and commitment to be prepared to spark imaginations with the youth that come through our doors. We will require an outline of the class that shows what you will be doing each lesson. You will be compensated for your time on your first check from Matchbox with a $40 stipend. If you need help deciding on how the class should be, one of our Education Committee members will gladly work with you to create the curriculum. If yo would rather be given one of our curriculums, one of our Education Committee members will write the curriculum for you.

CONTRACT TIME

Matchbox Children's Theatre pays teachers by the hour. You will be given a paper time sheet to complete.

  • Your prep time is 15 minutes before the class starts.

  • You will need to stay until all students have been picked up. You will supervise students at the door.

  • You will leave the room clean and sanitized.

CLASSES

Matchbox has three 6-week courses for classes. Most classes meet once a week. In the summer we have summer camps where you would meet with a group for 45 minutes every day, Monday-Friday. Classes for summer camps are from 9am-noon.
