</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12.000000pt; font-family: 'TimesNewRomanPSMT'">Dear Directorial Candidates:
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12.000000pt; font-family: 'TimesNewRomanPSMT'">SLOC Musical Theater is beginning the show selection process for the 2013-2014
season. As you may have heard, the Schenectady Light Opera Company had an award-
winning season in 2011-12, and we are excited to continue our efforts to bring high-
quality theater to the Capital District. We are proud to have been recognized by the
Times Union as one of the top 3 area theatres (and the only community theater) for the
2011-12 season. During SLOC’s upcoming season, area theater-goers will continue to
have the opportunity to enjoy quality theatrical productions in our beautiful, state-of-the-
art facility. Please join us in this exciting time and consider entering a submission to the
Show Recommendation Committee as a directorial candidate!
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12.000000pt; font-family: 'TimesNewRomanPSMT'">The attached Show Submission Form should be completed and returned by </span><span style="font-size: 12.000000pt; font-family: 'TimesNewRomanPS'; font-weight: 700">Saturday,
September 15, 2012. </span><span style="font-size: 12.000000pt; font-family: 'TimesNewRomanPSMT'">All applications must be received by this date. No exceptions or
extensions are allowed. Please be sure to provide your updated e-mail information as
part of your reply, regardless of whether or not you submit a show. For each show,
please indicate the time slot you prefer: 1st – October 11-20, 2013, 2nd – December 6-
15, 2013, 3rd – February 14-23, 2014, 4th – March 21-30, 2014 and 5th – May 16-25,
2014. 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 size and breakdown of the cast you intend to use (i.e. 4 males, 5 females, 10
chorus).
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12.000000pt; font-family: 'TimesNewRomanPSMT'">If you have already secured a creative team (musical directors, choreographers,
producers, set and lighting designers, etc.), it will greatly enhance your overall
submission. </span><span style="font-size: 12.000000pt; font-family: 'TimesNewRomanPS'; font-weight: 700">Of particular importance is the confirmation of a musical director for
each show submitted. </span><span style="font-size: 12.000000pt; font-family: 'TimesNewRomanPSMT'">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. 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. It is imperative that the director’s artistic concept of the show does not
violate the licensing contract. Availability of rights and royalties are also taken into
consideration.

</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12.000000pt; font-family: 'TimesNewRomanPSMT'">SLOC welcomes ALL directors to submit. Prior directing experience at SLOC is not a
requirement. In addition to completing the Show Submission Form, please attach a
current resume including directorial and production experience.
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12.000000pt; font-family: 'TimesNewRomanPSMT'">SLOC requires that each of the key members of the production team (director, assistant
director, producer, musical director, choreographer and stage manager) sign a criminal
history form. This is required in order to ensure a safe, secure working environment for
all production members.
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12.000000pt; font-family: 'TimesNewRomanPSMT'">SLOC provides each production with an artistic budget (currently $4,000.00), which is to
be used for sets, costumes, props, makeup, and other production artistic and technical
expenses. In addition, the company pays for the show royalties, pit orchestra, publicity,
programs, photo shoots, and other administrative overhead costs. If a production team
wishes to obtain funds beyond their normal budget, they must submit a proposal to the
SLOC Finance Committee for any special expenses.
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12.000000pt; font-family: 'TimesNewRomanPSMT'">The Committee will present their recommendation to the SLOC Board of Directors for
approval in October, 2012. In considering SLOC’s 2013-2014 season, the Committee is
looking to present a group of shows that are diverse in style (something for everyone);
therefore, please 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. The SLOC Board of
Directors will make the final determination regarding the approved submissions, and
notification will be given to selected directors in writing.
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12.000000pt; font-family: 'TimesNewRomanPSMT'">We would like to thank you in advance for taking the time and effort to consider a
submission for our upcoming season. Please forward all submission to Jane Figueroa at
