In a little bit more than a week (August 1, 2025) applications are due for directors interested in becoming part of Workshop Players’ 77th season 2026-2027.
SEND APPLICATIONS TO pprice203@gmail.com
Attached, please find a link to an article published by Playhouse Square’s Ideastream about this process and about our theater.
Following is an outline of the process:
*Applications (due August 1st) should include a theatrical resume if the applicant has never directed in our theater before.
*Applications need to include 4-5 shows a director is interested in bringing to life on our stage. Include a brief synopsis of the show and why you believe it would work in our theater. (Comedies, dramas, musicals , Christmas shows… all accepted, but we will only produce one musical each season).
*In August the Board of Trustees will select the 5 directors. (Some may be asked to come in for interviews)
*The Play Reading Committee will read the 20-25 submissions of scripts beginning in September with the goal of cobbling together a well balanced season.
*In December the Board of Trustees will be presented with a potential slate of shows for 2026-2027 for approval and all directors will be notified.
PLEASE NOTE THAT WORKSHOP PLAYERS THEATER IS AN ALL VOLUNTEER THEATER. DIRECTORS ARE NOT PAID.
