We have an opening for our Costume Shop Director position at Kean University. This person will also work for our resident Equity company, Premiere Stages. I know a lot of groups require specifics about salary etc. with job postings, but our HR Dept. handles that and we are not privy to the information. I assure anyone applying that at least a range will be shared if they make contact and apply. What I CAN tell you is that we are 30 minutes south of Manhattan, and you would be working with a very chill and super supportive faculty!
