July 22, 2022 Thank you to those directors who have already submitted applications to direct at Workshop Players Theater in the 2023-2024 season. 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 10 days away …August 1, 2022. * *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 would love Christmas plays, children’s plays, plays that are not necessarily standards. We love comedies, but don’t shy away from dramas. How about melodramas? How about mysteries? Let’s engage our audiences! *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 a 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.
From directors’ submissions, we will strive to put together a balanced season. We strongly believe that directors who have an investment in the plays they send to us is important, which is why we ask for your lists instead of choosing a season then looking to find directors. We hope that you embrace this approach.
Thank you for your interest in our theater. Pat Price Play Reading Committee Chair Workshop Players Theater Amherst, OH 44001 -- Workshop Players 44820 Middle Ridge Road, Amherst, OH 44001 Box Office: 440-634-0472 (Box Office hours: 9 a.m. to 7 p.m.) Find us on Facebook!
