Job Description : Title: Quest Director
Employment Status: Exempt/Seasonal
Reports to: Director of Story
Plato Learning operates outdoor mythology-based day camps for kids ages 7-15. They create a world where monsters, myth, and magic transport kids out of the mortal realm into one where they are empowered to develop new skills, take risks, solve problems, and ultimately become Heroes. Now in ten locations spanning from NYC to California, Plato Learning uses actors, live-action role-play, and physically and mentally engaging activities to bring myths to life. Are you ready to join the team and accept our call to adventure?

They are multi-disciplinary, audience-driven events that involve elements of immersive improvisation between actors and campers, LARP-style combat with foam weapons, “escape room” style physical and mental challenges/puzzles, and much more.
Quest Directors are a hybrid of many “traditional” theatrical roles including Director, Stage Manager, Scenic Designer, and Performer.
