Propose A Production

Proposals for the 2024 - 2025 Season closed on March 1st, 2024
You may still submit, but it will be considered for the 2025 - 2026 Season.

Thank you for applying to direct at the Mill Race Theatre Company! At MRTC, we strive to create a sustainable theatre arts program that can positively transform the community. Below is our form with required information needed for the Program Development Committee to review and consider your proposal. All applicants should demonstrate:

• A passion for the theatre

• Strong organizational skills (including time management)

• Strong communication skills

• The ability to successfully collaborate with a group

• Willingness to give and receive constructive criticism

• A strong sense of respect for others.

We suggest directors new to the organization to consider using MRTC veterans for additional staff positions and/or to first serve as an assistant director. Working with only volunteers and no permanent staff, we are faced with unique challenges.

We pay directors between $300-$800 for smaller shows and $800-$1200 larger shows, depending on the budget, size of cast, and technical complexity of the show.

After completing the form below, our Program Development Committee will receive a notification and review your proposal. They will reach out with additional questions and next steps. Directors that are selected for a show slot will be assigned a board liaison as a resource to ensure the best production possible.

If you have questions, please ask! Remember, this is a volunteer group and that we are all here because we love theatre and we each have something to contribute. You can contact us here.
