Thank you for your interest in becoming a director at Bremerton Community Theatre. The purpose of this document is to outline the process currently in place for first time directors to direct at BCT and to help us get to know more about your experience as a director.
Please note, we do have process in place for artists who have not directed locally before or have never directed.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the current BCT Vice President/Play Selection Committee Chair. Their contact information can be found on the Contacts page at bremertoncommunitytheatre.org
New Director Process
- The candidate must file a New Director form with the Vice President of the Board of Trustees.
- The candidate must serve as an assistant director for two shows at BCT.
- Every effort will be made by the individual to assist with two different directors.
- The director from each show will submit feedback to the VP after production has closed to document the assistant director’s performance.
- Once items 1 and 2 are completed, the candidate must direct a one act play before receiving final approval to direct a mainstage show at BCT.
- The one act play should be approved by the board to ensure that the candidate is judged only on his/her directing work and not the content.
- The production will be evaluated by the Board of Trustees and a minimum of three directors.
- The candidate will receive feedback within one week from the BCT Board of Trustees.
- The final decision will be forthcoming by the next scheduled board meeting.
- If the New Director is directing a show at another local theater that can be viewed by the Play Selection Committee Chair and 3 other BCT directors, then the New Director may not need to direct a one-act play at BCT.
- The first BCT production by the new director must have a seasoned director in place as the assistant director.
- Any of the above requirements can be waived by the BCT Board of Trustees on a case-by-case basis
