IMPORTANT DATES AND TIME COMMITMENT
The following dates are a requirement for anybody who wishes to direct in the Festival, so interested directors should ensure they can be present. If an interested director believes they will have a conflict but still would like to direct, please contact the Artistic Director with concerns.
Directors Meeting: The weekend of September 26-27
Auditions: To be reviewed the week of September 29th
Performance fully completed and ready for video editing: October 28th

In terms of the time commitment for the rehearsal process, a typical director can expect to rehearse 2-3 times per week, with rehearsals averaging about 2 hours in length each. Naturally, these specifics will depend upon a director’s particular play and the schedule that they themselves make.
