Thank you for your interest in directing a PTD play in 2027!
Please read the following guidelines before submitting your application:
* Directors may submit 1-3 plays. Please submit a separate application for each play.
* Directors may only direct 1 play per season.
* If you have experience directing elsewhere but have never worked with PTD before, we ask that you volunteer with us in some capacity (cast, crew, front of the house, etc.) before submitting an application to direct. If you have never directed a play before, we ask that you first volunteer as an Assistant Director with PTD before submitting an application to direct.
* All applications must include a copy of the play. You can:
* Email a PDF of the play to Karrie Waarala at klwaarala@gmail.com
* Mail a hard copy of the play to PTD Productions, P.O. Box 970470, Ypsilanti, MI 48197
* If you mail a hard copy, please indicate if you need it returned to you. We will return it by mail if you do.
* When submitting a copy of the play, please indicate selections (a single scene, or multiple scenes) you believe are representative of the play. These will be read aloud by the Play Reading Committee. Please limit to 10 pages of dialogue maximum. (NOTE: For every monologue, please reduce the total number of pages by 1.)
* Deadline for application is June 19, 2026. The committee will schedule interviews with all applicants (via Zoom) over the summer. The 2027 season selections will be finalized by the PTD Board in September, and all applicants will be notified at that time.
* All selected directors will need to sign a contract with PTD Productions. A copy of the contract will be shared at the time of director interviews.
