  • Author of Play
  • List any production or technical crew persons that work with you on a regular basis
  • What technical issues, if any, does the show present and how would you plan to resolve them?
  • Are there any anticipated casting difficulties? If so, how would you overcome them?
  • Are there budgeting issues or exceptional costs associated with this production?
  • What about the show appeals to you as a director?
  • If your show is selected, are there any timing restrictions that would help us in building our season schedule (i.e., can only direct in early fall or late spring)?

SSP_logoThe Sunset Player production of GREETINGS just lost our actor who was playing the part of Andy. It is a pivotal character and a great part.

The play goes up September 6th and Runs September –  6,7,13,14,15, 19,20 21 and 26.

It is the opening show of our 40th anniversary season!

We have a great cast and we just need YOU to round it out.
