Dear Potential Director,

As we approach the beginning of our 77th season, it becomes time to start
thinking about our 78th! Planning ahead is important as our process for
selecting directors and a season spans several months.

We are hoping that you may be interested in applying to direct in our
unique space during our 2026-2027 season. Please note that we are proud to
be an all-volunteer theater. It has been that way —- community based for
over seven decades which is a remarkable testimony to the power of theater
and the commitment of individuals to bring our stage to life.

*The deadline for applying is August 1, 2025.  *

*We welcome new comedies as well as the tried and true; compelling dramas
and small-scale musicals. We are also very interested in producing
Christmas fare, so if you know of a good Christmas piece we would be happy
to have you submit it.  — More than anything, 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
August.
After that the play reading committed will read the 25-30 plays submitted
by the 5 chosen directors, The slate of shows for our 78th season will be
chosen in November and the director will be notified. *It is important to
submit 4, or even better, 5 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.*

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
