Director Submissions
Are you an experienced director looking for
an opportunity to direct for DFT? We'd love to hear from you. We are
currently soliciting play suggestions from interested directors. We want to
hear from YOU as to what show you have been dying to direct. We are
looking for:
-
a mixed-ages show (youth and adult),
-
a book musical and/or a musical revue
-
a comedy
-
drama.
We also have opportunities for directors who want to build their
portfolio to direct theatricales for us (these are small, in-home,
one-night theatrical "events"). In the past they have included an
evening of Shakespeare love sonnets interspersed with performances of
related music, an evening of Broadway show tunes performed concert
style, and dinner theater shows. We are looking for creativity,
ingenuity and something that works well in an intimate setting (like a
private home) or another unique setting.
In addition, we have a very small (50-seat)
black box and are looking for potential productions for that space that
might have a longer run.
We have three performance spaces:
Large proscenium theater -- seats 430
Large black box theater in same facility as proscenium -- seats 150
Small black box theater in building next to main facility -- seats 50
We also offer our theatricales in either
private homes or restaurant settings. These could also be offered in
unique settings if appropriate to the work...
If you are interested in directing:
-
Send a cover letter describing the work you
would like to create for DFT specifying your theater preference for
production and/or alternative location ideas, and play/musical
publisher.
-
Send your resume outlining all past
productions
-
Send any DVDs (with self-addressed, stamped
envelope) you may have of productions you have directed.
-
Send a list of any upcoming productions you
are directing that we may be able to see.
-
Include your date preference for directing
and/or any hard conflicts
Please send complete packet to: Desert Foothills Theater, PO Box 2074,
Carefree, AZ 85377, Attention: Artistic Committee. You may also email
to
meribeth@desertfoothillshteater.com.
We will be reviewing submissions in the early winter and will announce
our season in mid spring. Due to our performance space belonging to the
school district, we cannot confirm production dates until late spring.
Arizona Series Play Submissions
The
Desert Foothills Theater (DFT)
is currently looking for two plays
for their “Arizona
Series”
for our next two
seasons. DFT is in the Cave Creek/Carefree/North Scottsdale area and
has been producing plays for over 30 years.
Interested
playwrights may submit only one play.
To qualify for the Arizona Series,
a play must either be written by an
Arizona playwright
or written with the
subject of the play being directly
related to
Arizona.
To be considered
for the Arizona Series, you must submit the following to the chairman of
DFT’s Artistic Committee (AC) no later than Wednesday, December 3,
noon:
-
a 1-page synopsis of the play (No name
on the synopsis)
-
your bio
-
a 10-page writing sample from that play
(No name on any page)
-
if submitting a musical, one original
song with lyrics on CD
-
your contact info including mailing
address, cell phone and e-mail.
Submissions will be
read without the playwright’s name on the script to eliminate bias for
known playwrights. The AC will judge submissions and chose the top
three. These plays will then be submitted in their entirety to the AC
for a final selection. The developmental process may include staged
readings to allow writers continued development of their work.
DFT’s Artistic
Committee will make their decision and contact all applicants no later
than
February 5, 2009. Playwrights will be
paid royalties for each performance of their play; DFT usually performs
a show 10 times. Pay will be in the $50-$75 range per performance.
Submissions
can be sent directly to DFT Artistic Committee Chair, Alexx Stuart:
7137 E. Canyon Wren
Circle
Scottsdale,
AZ 85266
If
you have any questions, feel free to contact Alexx by e-mail or at the
number listed below.
