• Creative Team Application

    for the 2027-2028 Season

  • Please Note:

    Seasons, shows and directors are chosen by the Executive Director by viewing the applications received, the season show surveys of the last few years filled out by patrons and actors, as well as productions currently running, already announced, and recently put on in our area. After the season is put together, the BOD (Board of Directors) vote to approve or change any part of the season, contingent on contracts. As we get applications, it will be sent to the ED to discuss and read through the scripts, as well as look at the financial obligations of said production. After the initial process, it then will depend on if we are able to receive the rights from the publishers before we can officially offer or decline any productions. This process usually takes six months or longer. We will notify you if you have been selected to continue to the next step of the process. We appreciate your time and desire to work with us! Thank you.
