August 2024 Many thanks to those who have already submitted applications to direct during the Workshop Players’ 2025-2026 season. Just imagine! It shall be our 77th season in our unique, intimate theater! *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, I can provide a list of previously read and admired scripts. Contact me using the email below. 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 your interest in Workshop Players Theater. We think it’s a pretty special place and would love to have you as part of our Workshop family.
