Directors are expected to submit, in writing, proposals for no more than two (2) shows, discussing at a minimum, the following items:
-Artistic vision (set, blocking, costumes, makeup, etc.)

-Artistic team (roles, names, experience, etc.)
      RCMPI provides a production coordinator and will help fill in roles that are unfilled

-Orchestration

-Cast requirements
      -Cast Size
      -Number of males vs. females
      -Named character breakdown
      -Dance requirements

-Special skill requirements

-Special Effects (eg – snow falling, pyrotechnics, etc.)

Proposals should be no more than 5 pages in length. Directors will have an opportunity to elaborate on their vision during the interview process.

Directors will be interviewed by members of the Artistic Direction Committee in October 2024 (exact dates TBD). All proposed members of the directorial team should be present for the interview.

Prior to submission, the Artistic Direction Committee will check to confirm the availability of rights and suitability of the show. If rights for a submission are unavailable, we will contact that director and they will have the option to submit a different show.

Please advise the Artistic Direction Committee of the shows you intend to propose ahead of time in order to confirm the eligibility of your proposal.

Note: Effective for the 2025-2026 Season, RCMPI has moved away from its Honorarium policy, with goals of financial responsibility and equality while still focussing on appreciation and recognition. RCMPI is actively working on its appreciation and recognition practices and policy, however no role-based honoraria will be included in these productions.

If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact the Artistic Direction Committee Chair at ad@rcmpi.ca.
