Call for Directors
and Producers
Playhouse 395 is
calling for applications for
directors, producers and other key
production staff for the 2010/2011
season. To facilitate the process,
general inquiries from creative,
committed theatre enthusiasts are
encouraged. Musicals have been
selected using a number of criteria
including: shows that inspire
audiences; shows that generate
enthusiasm and commitment from
potential cast members and
production staff; and shows that
reflect a balance of themes.
Summer children’s
workshops have proven a big hit
with local area families. They
attract approximately 30 children
per session (two sessions each
summer, with the first typically
starting mid-June) and participants
range from 6 through 12 years of
age. Directors and producers are
paid a generous stipend for their
involvement. The production chosen
for this summer’s workshop is
Disney’s newly-released
Aladdin Kids.
The company’s fall
youth productions typically cast
an average of 30 students of middle
and high school ages. Past
productions have included: “Guys and
Dolls,” “Bugsy Malone,” “Willy Wonka,”
and “Mulan.” The following are under
consideration for the 2010 youth
production, and are available from
