The St. Mark’s Players are pleased to announce that we are currently seeking Directing Proposals for our Winter 2027 production of Enchanted April by Matthew Barber.

 

The St. Mark’s Players is a participatory company that uses theater to explore our lives and to serve our community. As a Community Theater Company, the St. Mark’s Players survives and thrives through the inspiration and involvement of people like you!

 

The Artistic Committee has selected Enchanted April to be our Winter show. Opening night is February 19, 2027.

 

Your submission should be one document, to include the following:

  • Why you want to direct Enchanted April

• Directing Proposal 

  • Vision for your production of Enchanted April

  • Themes of the show, and how you think/want an audience to connect to them

  • Plans for filling out your production/technical team (ex. Producer(s), Stage Manager, Costumer, etc.) 

  • Approximate timeline for your production. Opening night is set for February 19, 2027, with that in mind, when would you want auditions to take place? When would rehearsals start?

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. It is extremely useful to have seen the performance space in person. If you haven’t seen it before, please email info@stmarksplayers.org to arrange a time to see it.

3. If you need a copy of the script to review, we can provide the link to a digital copy. Please email to request.

​

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

 

Best,
Alicia
