WE REALLY LOVE THIS JOB.
The Chelsea Funnery staff is an ever-evolving group of theater lovers and Bard enthusiasts from a wide variety of performance, directing, film, puppetry, dance, clown and music backgrounds. We are Vermonters, rural art makers, and alumni of this very program! Our staff is committed to continuing the vibrant community and outstanding performances that has marked Funnery programs from the beginning. We are deep believers in FUN and come to our teaching and directing with collaboration and compassion at the foremost of our work with students.
