About Our Satellite Workshops:
NCTC Education provides weekly after-school workshops and in-school residencies for K-8 students in partnership with San Francisco schools. Our highly-trained Teaching Artists use targeted lesson plans to help students develop skills such as pantomime, spontaneity, character development, and ensemble-building. BIPOC and multilingual speakers (Spanish, Cantonese, Mandarin, and French) are highly encouraged to apply.
Satellite programming runs September through May, and we hire throughout the season. After-school workshops take place Monday-Friday, one hour per week (for 8-10 weeks) between 2:30-5:00 pm. In-school residencies vary in day, time, and hours. Preferably, Teaching Artists work 2-3 afternoons per week, and when possible, NCTC books back-to-back workshops at a single site to maximize time and compensation. All classes will be in-person and mask-optional.

Mason’s Bar has a full liquor license; mixology experience and current Responsible Beverage Service certification with California’s Alcohol Beverage Control are a must.
Compensation is San Francisco minimum wage as of July 2026 ($19.61/hour), plus cash tips and gratuities from credit cards cashed after each shift. Perks include complimentary tickets for performances and 50 percent off guest tickets, as well as the NCTC staff discount at the bar.
