Having taught English AND Theatre, I have reservations about the listing bullet point:

"desire to create a strong theatre programme"

The amount of work that goes into teaching Engish AND "creating a strong theatre programme" are not synonymous. Please expound. What exactly IS the percentage of English classes/Theatre classes?

Thanks for posting this, Barb! Wow, that is a great opportunity! If it was available one year later, I'd apply, but I am committed to my current position for at least another year. I even did my student teaching at Shorecrest High School. If whoever you hire doesn't end up working out, let me know :)

Also, Donalda, I know that teaching Drama and English is not necessarily ideal, but it's a reality for many of us. I'd also say that I have (and I'm sure many, many other teachers here have as well) built a successful program while teaching primarily English. Just my two cents.
