Dear Potential Director,


By now you have had a little over a month to consider applying to direct at
Workshop Players Theater-in-the-Round, which consists solely of volunteers,
 for our *2025-2026 season*. It will be our 77th year of presenting quality
entertainment in Northern Ohio.   Please recall that …


*The deadline for applying is September 1, 2024..   *


*We welcome new comedies as well as the tried and true; compelling dramas,
small scale musicals, Christmas shows, and also children’s shows —- It is
our focus to entertain!!! *


*Please submit to Play Reading Committee Chair Pat Price at*
*pprice203 at gmail.com* <pprice203 at gmail.com>


**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. *


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

After that the play reading committed will read the 25-30 plays submitted
by the 5 chosen directors,  The slate of shows for our 77th season will be
chosen in January and the director will be notified.  It is  important to
submit 4, or even better5 choices, so that we may end up with a balanced,
exciting season.


* Due to the cost of production Workshop Players would do no more than one
musical in a season, therefore  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.*


Attached is a list of “slept” plays that you *may or may not* use as
choices.  Of utmost importance is that you have a desire and a vision to
direct the plays you submit. That is why we approach selecting our season
in this manner instead of choosing plays, then working to find directors.
The list is included incase you need inspiration.  Also check out our
website at workshopplayers.org for a list of plays that have been presented
for the past 75 years.


Thank you for considering submitting an application.


Pat Price

Play Reading Committee Chair

*I hope that in this year to come, you make mistakes. Because if you are
making mistakes, then you are making new things, trying new things,
learning, living, pushing yourself, changing yourself, changing your world.
You're doing things you've never done before, and more importantly, you're
doing something. - Neil Gaiman*

*You can, you should, and if you're brave enough to start, you will.*
