Directors should submit the titles and authors of the plays or musicals they would like to direct, and include a current resume with their submissions. The committee will request a copy of the script for each production if it chooses to consider one or more of the submissions, as well as cast recordings for musicals.
1. Describe why you wish to direct that particular play/musical
2. Discuss your vision for each production (i.e. production values, concept, casting, etc)
3. Discuss why you feel it would be a great addition to the Villagers Season.
We would also like to note that, although we have Production Staff available, Directors are encouraged to bring in other Production Staff members to work on their show (Designers, Choreographers, Stage Managers, etc).
In the event that the same show is submitted by more than one director, the committee will have sole discretion in selecting the director for that production. Directors are encouraged to submit more than one play for consideration.
List submissions in order of preference and specify which time slot best suits your schedule. The season generally will run as follows, with our recommendations in parentheses:
- September (a comedy)
- November (a musical)
- February (a small musical or comedy)
- April (a comedy or drama)
- June (a musical)
The theater is looking to open our 2015-2016 season with a strong comedy, and suggests directors consider musicals such as "Annie," "Tommy" and "La Cage Aux Folles."
Villagers Theatre is also at this time accepting submissions for its black box series. These plays and small-scale musicals usually are less well-known pieces that might not fit into the mainstage season. Black box productions are produced with a limited budget, with the focus on the acting and directing.
Submissions should be sent to the Villagers Theatre Main Office, attention Joe Buz, 529 DeMott Lane, Somerset; or e-mailed to Joe Buz at villagers_production@outlook.com by Dec. 1.
