Cincinnati Music Theatre is in search of qualified directors for the 2019-20 season.
Established in 1963, Cincinnati Music Theatre has a long and proud history of presenting popular, large-scale, award-winning musicals to enthusiastic audiences from across the Greater Cincinnati area. An all-volunteer group, each season CMT presents two large- or medium-scale musicals in the Jarson-Kaplan Theatre at the Aronoff Center for the Arts, and now an exciting new three-show Studio Series, performing in the Aronoff Center’s Fifth Third Bank Theatre.
We are seeking directors for three Studio Series shows and for the Spring 2020 mainstage production. (Please note: the fall 2019 mainstage show and director have been selected.) CMT mainstage shows are large- or medium-scale, fully-produced musicals; the Studio Series is intended for cabaret, revue and small-scale musicals with little to no set or tech requirements.
Interested directors should submit the following information:
- Name and contact information
- Theatrical experience and/or resume
- For each production you are interested in directing, please give the following:
– Application for Mainstage or Studio Series?
– Show title and creators
– Licensing entity
– Cast requirements
– Production requirements (sets/costumes/props etc.)
– Do you have staff or tech people you’ve asked (or plan to ask) to work on this production?
– A brief synopsis
– Your vision for the production
– What challenges do you see with this show? How do you plan to meet them?
– Why is this show a good choice for CMT’s 2019-20 season?
Please send the above information by Nov. 19, 2018, to VP Creative Kendra Struthers at [email protected].
