FFL Accepting Directing Proposals for 2013-14 Season

Fairfield Footlighters is accepting Directing proposals for our 12th (2013-14) season.

We are looking for passionate professionals who will deliver a quality show to our patrons. We expect directors to have a strong vision, practiced rehearsal skills, and flexibility.

Please submit a written proposal with brief concept (2-3 sentences) for 2-3 plays and/or 1-2 musicals that you would like to direct. Attach resume with applicable experience to your proposal. Please note in your submission if you own a perusal copy that may be borrowed by the Play Reading Chair.

Production dates are:

  • Sept 27-29, Oct 4-6
  • Nov 15-17, 22-24
  • Feb 14-16, 21-23
  • May 23-25, 30-Jun 1

Fairfield Footlighters makes its home in the Fairfield Community Arts Center. We produce four shows annually, running two weekends, and one of the four may be a musical. Typically rehearsals run in the evenings, Mon-Thur. Most, if not all, rehearsals can be scheduled at the FairfieldCAC using the stage or other available space as needed. Set load-in is the Sunday before opening Friday and is overseen by the FairfieldCAC Technical Director, who also provides lights, sound, and set design as needed.

The FairfieldCAC has limited wings space and no backstage space to store a set, so please be mindful of large or multiple set needs in your submissions. However, we have done some very creative set designs to handle multiple setting needs for past shows. Nothing is impossible with the right vision.

Director interviews, based on submissions, will be held in December 2012 at the FairfieldCAC. Time and date TBA. Submissions may be mailed to: Fairfield Footlighters, 411 Wessel Drive, Fairfield OH 45014 or emailed to: ffootlighters@yahoo.com.

THE DIARY OF ANNE FRANK runs Oct. 11-14

THE DIARY OF ANNE FRANK
Presented by Greater Hamilton Civic Theatre
Oct. 11-14
Hamilton

Directed by Patricia Ganz
​Produced by Dick Gentry and Joe Nagle

Cast: Bob McClain as Mr. Frank, Carrie Vennefron as Miep, Charlie Mangess as Mr. Van Daan, Michelle Lewis as Mrs. Van Daan, Meg Haven as Mrs. Frank, Maggie Miller as Margo, Kaleigh Howland as Anne Frank, Nicholas Inglin as Peter, Dick Bell as Mr. Kraler & Don Campbell as Mr. Dussel

The story concerns the lives of real people who lived at a time of unspeakable horror for the Jewish population in many European countries. The Diary of Anne Frank is based on a true account of the lives of a Jewish family hiding from the German occupying forces in war-torn Amsterdam. To escape the horrors of Nazi persecution, Otto Frank hides with his wife and two daughters in attic rooms above an Amsterdam warehouse for two years. Also hiding with the Franks are four other people – the Van Daans, their son Peter, and a dentist, Mr Dussel. In her diary Anne recorded an account of the trials and tribulations of the people around her, all trying to live a normal life in cramped attic accommodation, whilst under the constant threat of discovery by the Gestapo.
