Workshop Players Theatre 44820 Middle Ridge Road Amherst, OH 44001 July 2024 This is a reminder that applications to direct at Workshop Players in our 77th season in 2025-2026 is due in less than two months. *The deadline for applying is September 1, 2024. * * Our faithful audiences love to be entertained. Comedies are a favorite with them, but certainly dramas, musicals and children’s shows are also welcome as submissions. We strive to put together a balanced season based on choices sent to us by directors. We do it this way because we feel that it is important that directors have a vision for and passion about productions that they tackle. If in case you need a gentle nudge, we have provided a list of plays that the play reading committee has liked, but passed on, previously. YOU NEED NOT CHOOSE FROM THIS LIST, but perhaps it will spark ideas for you. ** Do your best to submit in a variety of genres,. * For instance, due to the cost of production, Workshop Players would do no more than one musical in a season. Therefore if submitting musicals also include some straight plays to increase your chance of being chosen to direct. Be aware that our backstage space is very limited, making massive scene changes difficult. *Please submit to Play Reading Committee Chair Pat Price at* *pprice203@gmail.com* <pprice203@gmail.com> **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. * Workshop Players Theater is a non-profit, *fully volunteer* theater. Submitting directors *may *be interviewed by the Board of Trustees in September. Thank you for considering submitting an application.
