experience at SLOC is NOT a requirement. In addition to
submitting the Show Submission Form, please attach a Current resume including directorial and
production experience. Directors at our company are
volunteers. We require each of the key members of production
teams (director, assistant director, producer, musical director, choreographer
and stage manager) to sign a
criminal affirmation. This is required to ensure a safe,
secure working environment for all production members. </span><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"> </span><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;">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.)</span><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;">If you have already secured a creative team (musical director,
choreographer, producer, set and lighting designer) 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 your project. Any other
information that you feel would assist the Committee should be added under the
“Comments” section of the Show Submission Form </span><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"> </span><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;">We do provide each production with an Artistic Budget, paid pit orchestra, and payment of all
