Re:  Calling ALL Directors!!
 
Dear Directorial Candidates:
 
SLOC Musical Theater is beginning the show selection process for its upcoming 2011-2012 season.  As you may have heard, the Schenectady Light Opera Company is extremely proud and excited about its new location at 427 Franklin Street in downtown Schenectady.  During SLOC’s current season, area theater-goers will have the opportunity to enjoy quality theatrical productions in this 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!
 
The attached Show Submission Form should be completed and returned to me by Tuesday, November 30, 2010.  SLOC would like to convert this submission process to e-mail only in upcoming seasons.  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 2011, 2nd – December 2011, 3rd – February/ March 2012, 4th – April 2012 (youth production featuring youth performers), 5th – May 2012.  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.  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 taken into consideration.
 
SLOC welcomes ALL directors to submit.  Prior directing 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.  Acting in the capacity of a SLOC Director is presently a volunteer position.  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 January of 2011.  In considering SLOC’s 2011-2012 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!  The SLOC Board of Directors will make final determinations regarding the approved submissions, and notification will be given in writing. 
 
I would like to thank you in advance for taking the time and effort to consider a submission for our upcoming season.  It is well appreciated by the company, our membership, and our faithful audiences.  Please forward all submission to me at either sevmoro at hotmail.com or 22 North Street, Schenectady, NY, 12305.   SLOC appreciates your interest and commitment to helping us provide quality musical theater.
 
Sincerely,
