The Footlighters, Inc. is now accepting director submissions for our 2027-2028 season. Interested directors must submit an online application via Google Form and are asked to please upload a theatrical resume and scripts for proposed shows. Directors will be allowed to submit up to three (3) productions for consideration. In our most recent survey, Footlighters patrons have expressed that their favorite types of shows are comedic plays, followed by classical musicals, contemporary musicals, and dramatic plays. However, ALL submissions will be considered equally, regardless of genres. We are, however, only considering published shows vs. unpublished works. Our goal is to have a diverse yet balanced season that appeals to both our patron base and artistic community alike.

 

We are seeking directorial candidates who feel they can bring a fresh and inclusive perspective to the shows they've submitted, and we encourage directors from diverse backgrounds to apply, whether you've directed for Footlighters before or not.

​

All submissions must be submitted via Google Form. The deadline to submit your materials is Sunday, October 18, 2026 at 11:59pm. Directorial candidates will be contacted to schedule their interviews with our committee. Interviews will be in person and take place at The Stained Glass Theatre beginning the week of October 26 or later, depending on schedules. All candidates will be interviewed.

​

Submit your application here!

​

We will produce a four (4) show season for 2027-2028, so we will be selecting four (4) directors and four (4) productions, at least one of which we would like to be a play. Please note: Footlighters is only considering published shows at this time, and we kindly ask that no unpublished works be submitted.

 

Should you have questions or need assistance, please email the chairperson at footlighters.showsubmissions@gmail.com and we will be happy to help.
