Camp Counselors/ Teaching Assistants

Teaching assistants (TA's) are high school and college age students who are are a vital part of the success of classes and camps at StarStruck. TA duties include arriving early to set up the studio, checking in students, helping manage student behavior, demonstrate songs/dances, leading theatre games/warm-ups, supervising lunch and snack breaks, and acting as tech crew for performances at the end of the semester/camp session. More experienced TA's may also be responsible for light directing, choreography, or music directing duties.

Can I be in the MainStage and TA??
Being a TA while rehearsing for a MainStage is not for the faint of heart, but it is a lot of fun! 

Are TA's paid? TAing is a volunteer position. TA's are eligible to collect service learning hours for school, or they can earn a $300 credit to use toward taking classes or participating in MainStage productions at StarStruck. Learn more about the new TA Credit Policy HERE.
