[NEohioPAL] Workshop Players seeks directors for 2024-2025 season!

[Workshop Players]

May 2023



The purpose of this letter is to recruit directors for Workshop Players’
2024-2025 season.   Following the pandemic shut down we were able to resume
our normal play reading committee procedure and have put together an
exciting, balanced season for 2023-24 with the help of five wonderful
directors, including:


*Death Trap* by Ira Levin, directed by Barry Saxon

*Arsenic and Old*  Lace, by Joseph Kesselring, directed by Kevin Cline

*The Dining Room*, by A.R. Gurney, directed by David  Stacko

*12 Angry Jurors,* by Reginald Rose, directed by Dave MacKeigan

*Rip Cord*, by David Lindsay-Abaire, directed by Judy MacKeigan


We are hoping that you may be interested in submitting an application along
with a list of plays you may be interested in directing.  *The deadline for
applying is August 1, 2023.   *

*We welcome new comedies as well as the tried and true; compelling dramas,
small scale musicals, Christmas shows, and even children’s shows —- It is
our focus to entertain!!!  We hope you will want to be part of it all. *


*Please submit to Play Reading Committee Chair Pat Price at*
joeandpatprice at centurytel.net


**if you have not directed with us before, please include a theatrical
resume *


**Submit 4-5 plays that you would be interested in directing at Workshop,
along with synopsis of the play (*may be copied and pasted from licensing
agent)*.  *

***

**Give a brief summary of why you believe the play would be effective in
our unique  theater-in-the-round space.   *


**Please be prepared to have at least one copy of each script available for
the play reading committee should you be selected as one of the directors. *


Workshop Players Theater is a non profit, *fully volunteer* theater.  It is
the longest running theater-in-the-round in Ohio (minus the pandemic
break).  We have a strong following in the surrounding community and hope
that you would like to be part of our theatre family.


Submitting directors may be interviewed by the Board of Trustees in August.


* Due to the cost of production Workshop Players would do no more than one
musical in a season, so if submitting musicals also include some straight
plays to increase your chance of being chosen to direct.  Be aware that our
backstage space is very limited, making massive scene changes difficult.*


We will strive to put together a balanced season based on what is submitted
to us. Most of all thank you for your interest in our theater.
