July 2, 2022 Thank you to those directors who have already submitted applications to direct at Workshop Players Theater in the 2023-2024 season. It is our intention to return to a “normal” five-show slate by that time. For 2022-2023 we are still producing a limited season. Brochures will be out shortly. We welcome further applications. We are starting from scratch with this process and need full applications, with thanks to all. *The deadline for applying is August 1, 2022. * *Please submit to Play Reading Committee Chair Pat Price at* joeandpatprice@centurytel.net **if you have NOT directed with us before, please include a theatrical resume * **SUBMIT 4-5 PLAYS OR MUSICALS 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.* We welcome Christmas plays too. Be aware that our backstage space is very limited, making massive scene changes difficult. Workshop enjoys producing plays for children and adults alike, musicals, comedies, and dramas —- and we will strive to put together a balanced season based on what is submitted to us. We strongly believe that directors who have an investment in the plays they send to us are important, which is why we ask for your lists instead of choosing a season than looking to find directors. We hope that you embrace this approach. Thank you for your interest in our theater.
