Please be aware that ANY of these slots could be allotted to a Youth Production, so directors should feel free to submit youth options for any of the available time slots for consideration. Information about cast size is extremely important. The Committee needs to know the number and breakdown of the cast you intend to use (i.e. 4 males, 5 females, 10 chorus). If you have already secured a creative team (musical directors, choreographers, producers, set and lighting designers, etc.), it will greatly enhance your overall submission. Of particular importance is the confirmation of a musical director for each show submitted. If the musical director you have secured does not play the piano, then you must have ideas for rehearsal accompanists to assist you on your project. Any other information that you feel would assist the Committee should be added under the “Comments” section of the Show Submission Form. Information in this section may include comments on suitability of plot, costume or set design, or any unique production ideas you may have. <u>Please note: if your artistic vision of a show is different than the universal expectation, you must present your ideas, in detail, at the time of your submission</u><i><span style='font-style:italic'>. </span></i>It is imperative that the director’s artistic concept of the show does not violate the licensing contract. Availability of rights and royalties are taken into consideration. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p><p class=MsoNormal style='text-autospace:none'><font size=3 color=black face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:11.5pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black'>SLOC welcomes ALL directors to submit. Prior directing experience at SLOC is <u>not </u>a requirement. In addition to submitting the Show Submission Form, please attach a current resume including directorial and production experience. Acting in the capacity of a SLOC Director is presently a volunteer position. Currently, SLOC requires each of the Key members of the production team (director, assistant director, producer, musical director, choreographer and stage manager) to sign a criminal affirmation. This is requested to ensure a safe, secure working environment for all production members. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p><p class=MsoNormal style='text-autospace:none'><b><font size=3 color=black face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:11.5pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black;font-weight:bold'><o:p> </o:p></span></font></b></p><p class=MsoNormal style='text-autospace:none'><font size=3 color=black face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:11.5pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black'>SLOC does provide each production with an artistic budget, paid pit orchestra, and payment for all royalties. The Committee will present their recommendation to the SLOC Board of Directors for approval in December 2011. In considering SLOC’s 2012-2013 season, the Committee is looking to present a group of shows that are diverse in style (something for everyone); therefore, consider all categories when making your submissions. Examples of various styles include, but are not limited to: classics/”chestnuts”, regional premieres, operettas, rock operas, family favorites, musical revues and more!
