Call for 2024-2025 Season Directors at CenterStage Players

CenterStage Players is now accepting applications for Directors for our 2024-2025 season! We are searching for creative and talented directors, both experienced and new, who aren’t afraid to take a risk. We are open to comedy, drama, farce, and musical submissions and are particularly interested in rarely performed shows, original works, and “edgy” scripts. We would especially love to have a musical in our 24-25 season. You can see the list of our previous productions on our website – http://www.centerstageplayersinc.com.

We are aiming to produce three (3) shows next year. Our usual home at Lockland High School is still under renovations, so we will be on the move once again next season, intending to keep our slots at the Dunham Arts Center (Sunset) and the Evendale Bell Tower Pavilion (Tri-County) for the season. With that in mind, please suggest shows that could be produced in a variety of venues.

Interested applicants should send the information shown below to Rebecca Coots and Lisa Hunt, Vice-Presidents of Production, before the deadline of November 30, 2023. Director interviews will take place on January 20, 2024.
