Seneca Community Players Director's Information Page |
Seneca Community Players invites theatre directors from throughout the region
to submit proposals for its 2010 season.
If you are interested in directing a play or musical production for SCP next
year, visit www.SenecaCommunityPlayers.org and
download a proposal form. Whether you are a first time director or a seasoned
vet, the organization encourages new and innovative ideas and titles while also
welcoming old favorites.
Information required on the proposal form includes title of show, expected
audition and production dates, preferred venue, proposed production staff, and
an estimated budget. All proposal forms should be accompanied by a copy of the
script. If you are new to the group or have not directed for SCP before, include
a list of your theatrical experiences, including any productions you have
directed, produced, stage-managed or performed in, and the theatrical
organizations with which you worked.
Members of SCP's board of directors are available throughout the application
process to offer assistance in completing the proposal form and to answer
questions. Board members are listed on the Web site.
Submit the completed proposal to P.O. Box 45, Seneca Falls, N.Y. 13148 or to a
member of the SCP Board by September 1, 2009.
SCP's board will consider all proposals. It will determine those to be produced
during 2010 at its regular meeting in November. Prospective directors will be
contacted immediately following. An announcement of the new season will be made
by the end of December.

Dear
Director,
Thank you for your interest in directing with the Seneca Community
Players. We are always
looking for new faces as well as those who have been with us for many
successful shows. We are
excited to be planning our next season and even more excited to see the
ideas our wonderful directors have in mind!
Whether you are a first time director or a seasoned vet – please
take the time to read the following information while gathering your staff
and creativity for your proposal.
For those of you who are new to the group, let us take the time to
explain what a year of shows has looked like in the past for the players.
SCP seasons have typically been comprised of 4-5 shows with large
musicals and youth productions usually being presented during the summer
and straight plays and small musicals rounding out our season. We
certainly do not restrict ourselves to these traditions.
The board of directors encourages new and innovative ideas for
shows as well as welcomes old favorites.
When you have your show and staff in place, please submit a proposal
form to the board of directors within the timeline set forth on the
season policies page. In
addition to submitting the proposal form and four copies of the script
for the play reading committee, please note that you will need to
apply for the rights to the show and the venue early enough to bring a
concrete yes or no by the time the proposals are voted upon.
If your show is selected to be a part of our season, please be
aware that we will be presenting our shows in a season format as opposed
to individually. To
accomplish this, a meeting of producers of all approved shows will take
place before the start of the season. (see
season polices) At this meeting, we will be discussing season
publicity, season tickets, fundraising, and season programs.
Thank you for your interest and participation in our next season.
We hope to be receiving proposals from many of you soon! Board of Directors – Seneca Community Players
