Position Announcement

    The New York City Fire Museum seeks two creative and dynamic individuals
to participate as First Person Interpreters in it’s new Living History 
Program.  This is a part time position of 15 hours a week which will require 
weekend work with the
possibility of additional hours for evening and special events held at the 
museum. 
Interpreters will work with the Museum’s director and a Lead Interpreter to 
form a
company of performers.  
    This program is an experiment and will progress step by step.  There will 
be a
week of training which will include FDNY history, Meisner-based acting 
technique,
and improvisational games.  Interpreters will start with storytelling and 
move on to
character development working around those stories.   
    A background in history, museum studies, or museum interpretation is not
necessary: hands-on experience in living history, theatre, creative writing, 
storytelling
or other performance art is extremely desirable.   As this is a program in 
development, your experience and ideas will be important in making it 
progress.
    Interested persons should submit a resume and letter of interest to:

Melissa J. Ryan
