The Buck Creek Players Board of Directors has extended the date for submissions from interested directors for the Winter 2014 time slot in their 40th Anniversary season. This production will not be bound by the rules of the Encore Association, and will not be judged for the annual awards. Therefore, directors have additional opportunities and flexibility on how this show is produced.
Running for six performances over two weekends, January 24, 25, 26, 31 and February 1 and 2, 2014, proposals from interested directors should be postmarked no later than Thursday, February 14, 2013, and include:
- Contact information of submitting director;
- A script or detailed summary of the proposed production;
- Information on cost of royalties and contact information on the licensing house (if known);
- Theatrical resume;
- Preferred method of casting (i.e., open auditions, pre-casting, etc.); If open auditions are desired, they would be held on Monday and Tuesday, December 9 and 10, 2013.
- Any other details that should be considered in regards to producing the piece.
The BCP Board of Directors will discuss and make a decision on or before March 31, 2013. It remains the discretion of the BCP Board of Directors whether a piece will be performed in the proposed time slot.
In order to provide the most guidance, please find the following information below on what submitted productions should entail:
- A small cast (eight cast members or less)
- Limited or simple unit set that can be constructed in 4 weeks or less
- Free, cheap, or reasonably priced royalties
- A production with energy, a positive message, and/or audience interaction
- Cast members may be chosen by the director through private audition, or through open auditions
- Production would need to be cast and begin rehearsals in December 2013 using the playhouse lobby or another location as necessary.
- A sponsor or sponsorship opportunities may underwrite all or some of the production cost
- The show should be able to be produced with limited time. Both Christmas and New Year’s will occur during this time.
