[Workshop Players]

Workshop Players Theatre

44820 Middle Ridge Road

Amherst, OH 44001

June 2025


Dear Potential Director,


Workshop Players Theater is the oldest theatre-in-the-round in the state of
Ohio.  We are very proud of that, just as we are proud of the fact that for
our history we have been an all volunteer theater.  We do it because we
love it. We hope that you  may be of the same mind and would like to apply
to direct in our 2026-2027 season.  It may seem odd to be planning that far
ahead, but we have found that doing so allows us most optimally to select
balanced seasons.


In 2025-2026 we will be producing a musical (*Spitfire Grill*), a Christmas
show ( *Christmas  Belles*), a romantic comedy (*Same Time Next Year*), a
classic (*Harvey*) and will end with a comedic, yet dramatic Neil Simon (
*Chapter  Two*).   Directing will be a combination of “regulars” and three
who are new to our theater.  We hope that you may be interested in joining
our ranks of directors in 2026-2027.


*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> *

*THE DEADLINE TO APPLY IS AUGUST 1, 2025*


*If you submit musicals, please also include some straight plays as we will
do no more than one musical a year and submitted  both genres would enhance
your chance of being  selected as a director. *


*We especially welcome Christmas  plays. *


*Please do note that our backstage space is limited and that we cannot
accommodate major set pieces for changes.   *


**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. *Contact Pat Price *pprice203 at gmail.com* if you would like a list
of “slept plays that the play reading committee has liked in the past.  *.
Also check out our website at *workshopplayers.org
<http://workshopplayers.org/> *for a list of plays that have been presented
for the past 76 years.
