New Voices!

Anyone from WPI want to direct a play? I'm still scouting around for possible directors, since the decision needs to be made this weekend.

For some reason, there are really few directors this year. Where did they all go? There's so little interest, it's disappointing.

I don't like the feeling that a lot of playwrights are going to get, like they have to settle for anyone who's interested. There are 12 plays and I'd say about 5 directors. Never mind the experienced and capable ones - those get snapped up fast. =(

It makes me sad that instead of the normal comparison playwrights for New Voices usually get, such as the interview process to see if the director is one you feel is right for your play, you'll have to settle for anyone who even says "Yeah, I guess. I mean, it's something to do, right?"

Ah, well. Beggars can't be choosers. Le sigh.

I'm interested, for sure, but my workload is massive in D Term, and I may be looking into ADing a bit.

That's part of the trouble - everyone wants to AD and there are a few completely inexperienced people who want to be full directors. Normally I'd be OK with that, but my play is the longest in the festival and so definitely NOT good for a first-timer. =/

Rick, Rick, Rick! We could be co-directors!

Since getting to SLC, I've been convinced that WPI and SLC should collaborate more, because they have some great places of overlap... Too bad there's no current structure to allow that, because I'm sure you could find plenty of directors here.
