Call for directors 2011-2012

NOTE: The submission deadline is past. This page is kept online as an example for would-be directors to look at in anticipation of future calls.

November 14, 2010

Albany Civic Theater is soliciting director submissions for our 61st season. The new season will open in September of 2011 and run through August 2012.

Please read this packet thoroughly, even if you have directed for us before. There may be some changes of which you may not be aware; this a “must read” for every director. If you are interested in applying to direct, we urge you to:

• Read the information packet to make sure you have, or will have, met the necessary minimum qualifications for directing at ACT
• Read and consider the Charge to the Play Reading Committee on the next page.
• Start reading scripts
• Talk to other directors. We often find duplicate scripts submitted by separate directors. Communication will help keep that to a minimum.
• Please choose plays that are diverse from each other
• Please submit at least one play that has some form of name recognition.
• Submit up to three plays for consideration by the ACT Play Reading Committee.

All scripts and accompanying forms must be received at the theater by 5:59 p.m. on Sunday, January 23, 2011.

At the February 6th board meeting, the board will review all directors and determine at that time those not qualified for the season. Individuals will be contacted within that week with the reason(s) and given tools to assist them to meet qualifications for the following season.

Our schedule calls for a recommended season to be presented to ACT members for final approval on Sunday, April 3rd, 2011.

If, after reading this packet, you have questions about the process or about plays contact me by phone (791-3059) or e-mail actpresident@albanycivic.org

Best wishes for the holidays and the New Year.
Dean Keeling, president
Albany Civic Theater
