If you are interested in directing with the St. Mark’s Players, please submit your application, with attachments, HERE.

​

Please submit your materials by Sunday, November 2, 2025.

 

Notes: 

1. Directing positions are unpaid. 

2. Our performance space at St. Mark’s Church is unique. However, it is a variable black box space with many different configurations. Your proposal must share your specific vision for how you will use it.  This does not mean we expect your vision to be limited- dream big, but have specifics for how you want to make it work!

 

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact us, info@stmarksplayers.org.

Best,
