ABOUT THE POSITION:
Blue Jeans Theatre is seeking a musical director/ composer for a residency opportunity in Calgary in May 2021.

We are seeking a confident team player to work closely with the actor/musicians and the Blue Jeans team for the creation of songs and musical components. Notation of the score will be required.
