RPI Players Call for Directors for their 80th Season!

Troy, NY - March 31st 2009 - The RPI Players are looking for directors 
for their mainstage production of The Visit by Friedrich Dürrenmatt to 
be performed November 13th, 14th, 15th, 20th and 21st of 2009. 
Performances will be held in the RPI Playhouse on 15th Street in Troy, NY.

"The Lunts chose this unforgettable play for their swan song. A wealthy 
woman returns to her debt ridden home town and offers a sum greater than 
they have ever imagined to help out. But there is a condition: she wants 
the life of a villager who years ago had caused her to be expelled from 
town in disgrace. Ringing denial of this absurd demand is followed by 
the gradual corruption of everyone in town. He is murdered and money is 
passed over his body to the town. The lady leaves with a fantastic 
entourage and with the coffin of her old lover. Voted best foreign play 
of the year by N.Y. Drama Critics Circle. "Stinging.... [with] 
astonishing power." N.Y. Herald Tribune. "A devastating drama." N.Y. 
Times." (samuelfrench.com)

Any persons interested in directing these shows, or would like more 
information should contact the RPI Players Executive Committee via email 
at players at union.rpi.edu players at union.rpi.edu or via phone at

and three references. The RPI Players Executive Committee will contact 
you about an interview time. At the interview, please come prepared to 
discuss your vision for the show.
