Directors Sought for 2022-2023 Season at Mariemont Players

MPI_logo 2020Director Applications are now being accepted for Mariemont Players’ 2022-2023 Season!

Mariemont Players is currently accepting applications for directing for the MPI 2022-2023 Season. To receive an application and additional information please contact Jackie Miesle at jmiesle@gmail.com.

Mariemont Players hopes to present theatre that makes our audience think and feel about what they see on our stage. We want our patrons to be entertained but, just as importantly, we want them to feel an emotional connection to the material.

Our season slots are September, November, January, March, May, and July. The committee is looking for comedies that can make an audience laugh, a drama that makes them cry, or best of all, a show that can do both. It could be a mystery that keeps them guessing until the end or a musical that has them singing in their seats. It could be a favorite classic with a fresh production or an exciting new show.

The committee is looking to create an exciting and well-rounded season filled with all genres. We are particularly interested in productions that would provide opportunities for local actors, designers, and technicians to continue to grow and develop as artists, and show depth and range for our audiences.

Deadline for applications is July 15, 2021.
