Calling All Directors For the 2014 Festival!
The SF Olympians Festival is accepting letters of interest from directors between now and May 15, 2014. Please note that as a reading festival, SF Olympians is focused on the playwrights’ creation process and the development of new work. Ultimately, directors will be selected and contacted by the individual participating playwrights, coordinated by the Festival. To build our community of directors, we are offering potential directors two ways of engaging with our playwrights: submission of a letter of interest and an invitation to participate in our Directors/Playwrights Mixer on Tuesday, May 27th.
To be considered by the 2014 Olympians playwrights, please email the following information with the subject line “Olympians Director – [YOUR NAME]” to [email protected] by midnight on May 15, 2014. You may also use snail mail: Jeremy Cole, Director Coordinator, 2201 West Street, Apt. B, Oakland CA 94612
Letter of Interest Guidelines:
1. Please provide your name, phone number, and email address.
2. What does new play development mean to you as a director?
3. Which is your favorite Greek monster? (just kidding, it’s obviously Medusa)
4. Have you ever participated in the Olympians Festival before? If yes, please list your involvement.
5. Availability for Important Dates (see below).
6. Your resume.
In your email, please include the line: “I understand that directing a reading in the festival is a volunteer project.”
Directors/Playwrights Mixer, Tuesday, May 27, 2014
