Workshop Players Seeking Directors For 2019 - 2020 Season
by Workshop Players 26 Jan '18

26 Jan '18

Dear Director, We at Workshop Players are launching into the process of planning for our 72nd season (2019-2020). As the longest running theater-in-the-round in the state of Ohio, we are pleased to invite you to apply to direct for and with us during that time period. For several years we put together our season based solely upon submission by directors choosing shows that each had a vision to direct. Though I stand by this process and philosophy, we are sending along a list of shows with NAME RECOGNITION. Many are taken from compilations of “The Best Plays of the Past 100 years”. Many are dramas or musicals. There are few comedies, yet we want to maintain a balance of genres and styles, so we are still interested in including comedies. Indeed, comedies have been our bread and butter, so we are eager to learn of those you may be interested in directing. Please note that though we are presenting a list, we have not thought through the technical aspects of presenting any of these shows in our unique space. That is, as always, the job of the director. We invite you to peruse the list to see if any of the titles intrigue you as a director, get a copy and think through those production elements. We further invite you to make a combination of suggestions to us, perhaps choosing 1-2 from the list below, plus 1-2 suggestions of your own. Beyond the list below, we are especially interested in FAMILY FRIENDLY SHOWS, AND SHOWS SPECIFICALLY AIMED AT CHILDREN (not necessarily including children in the cast — could be adults performing a show that would bring children into the theater). We welcome musicals, potentially Christmas offerings, more modern shows (though those with a lot of foul language may not work for our audiences). If you have already directed at Workshop Players, you need not submit a resume or application, merely your list of play submissions that include and overview of the play and WHY and HOW you believe each would fit into our space. If you have not directed with us, please submit a resume along with your submissions. Send them to joeandpatprice(a)centurytel.net. <joeandpatprice(a)centurytel.net>These “applications” are due April 1, 2018 (no fooling!). Directors will be interviewed the second week of April by the Board of Trustees, when 5 directors will be chosen. The play reading committee will then read all of the plays submitted and meet with each director in August to finalize a balanced, interesting season. Thank you for your potential interest in working with us. Please recall that Workshop Players Theater is a volunteer organization and there is not stipend for directing, just the joy of making a script come alive in an intimate space. Sincerely, Pat Price Play Reading Committee Chair (see list of plays below) Musicals: Chicago Godspell Little Shop of Horrors Man of La Mancha Honk! (a musical for children) Seussical Pippin Baby The Last Five Years Dramas: Glass Menagerie Who’s Afraid of Virginia Wolf? Streetcar Named Desire Death of a Salesman Bus Stop Crimes of the Heart Lion in Winter Doubt Proof Lost in Yonkers—dramatic comedy Comedies Odd Couple—but change it up to do the female version Harvey Clybourne Park The Humans Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike The Play that Goes Wrong Additionally, these are plays that the play reading committee “slept” (in other words, liked but did not choose in the past) Hail Mary, by Tom Dudzick Comedy 2m 3f Playscripts , Inc.

Near West Theatre is looking for experienced singers, preferably section leaders in choral singing to build a CHOIR for their upcoming expansive production of THE HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE DAME, THE MUSICAL.

Then, beginning the week of April 22, the CHOIR will be folded into the regular rehearsal schedule, join with the cast and be staged into the production. From April 22nd on, the rehearsal schedule will be 3 to 4 times a week, Sundays through Wednesdays (Thursday, too, during Tech Week). The show opens on May 4, 2018 and plays for TEN performances: Performance Dates are May 4, 5, 10, 11, 12, 13, 17, 18, 19, 20. Curtain times are Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30pm. Sundays at 3pm. We are looking for a minimum of 16 power voices, male and female for four-part singing. A brief audition will be necessary. Our wonderful Music Director, Matt Dolan, will be coordinating these efforts. He is your contact person. If interested, please call Matt Dolan at 330-285-7998. Or email him at mdolan2005(a)gmail.com<mailto:mdolan2005@gmail.com> Sincerely, Bob Navis Jr Artistic Director and director of HUNCHBACK.
