First Run Theatre is seeking a Director and Assistant Director for our upcoming summer production. As a company committed to the development and presentation of new works by Midwest playwrights, this opportunity will involve directing a premiere script that has never before been produced.
The Director will receive a stipend for their involvement. Rehearsals would begin at the director’s discretion in May with Tech rehearsals the July 19-23 and show performances July 24- Aug. 3. We strongly encourage all interested applicants to attend our Reading Festival on April 12th and 13th, where the board will be selecting the plays for the summer season. This event will provide an invaluable opportunity to experience the potential scripts and gain insight into the works under consideration.
To apply for the Director or Assistant Director position, please submit a letter of interest and a resume to firstruntheatre@gmail.com by April 13th. Additionally, we are actively building a database of potential directors and assistant directors for future productions. If you are unable to commit to this summer’s production but are interested in collaborating with us in the future, we encourage you to submit your materials for consideration.
We look forward to hearing from you and the possibility of working together to bring new, exciting theatre to our community.
