Call for Directors
for the 2025-2026 season
The Footlighters, Inc. is accepting submissions for directors for their 2025-2026 season. Directors will be allowed to submit up to two productions for consideration. In a recent survey, our patrons have expressed that their favorite types of shows are comedic straight plays, followed by classic musicals, contemporary musicals, and dramatic straight plays. However, ALL submissions will be considered equally regardless of whether they are of the previously listed genres or not.
​
​Interested directors must submit their theatrical resume and the shows they are interested in pitching. To submit your show(s) electronically, please complete our Call For Directors 2025-2026 Google form. All submissions must be submitted through the Google form or emailed to the Season/Director Committee Co-Chairs, Liz and Chuck Ingram at footlighters.showsubmissions@gmail.com. You may send your resume and the answers to these questions in an email if you prefer.
​
​​Footlighters will produce a four-show season for 2025-2026, so the committee will be selecting four directors and four productions for our season (three musicals and one play). A classic musical, a contemporary musical, a small cast musical and a dramatic or comedic play is preferred. We are looking for directors who possess a strong vision, an ability to produce marketable shows, and knowledge of the Footlighters’ community with regard to the patrons whom we serve. We are seeking directorial candidates who feel they can bring a fresh and inclusive perspective to the shows they have submitted, and we encourage directors from diverse backgrounds, whether you’ve directed for Footlighters before or not, to apply.
​
The deadline to submit materials is Sunday, November 3, 2024. Interested directors will be contacted to schedule interviews for the week of November 18th. Interviews will take place at the Stained Glass Theatre.
​
Should you have additional questions or need assistance, please email us at footlighters.showsubmissions@gmail.com, and we will be happy to help.​
