      -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 August 2023 (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.
