Director for Fall 2025 Musical - Pennsylvania Players

The Pennsylvania Players, the only professionally-directed student theatre company at the University of Pennsylvania, seeks an experienced professional to direct its fall musical production. We are looking for directors with a clear vision. To apply, please submit a cover letter, resume, 3 references, and detailed proposals for Cinderella by Rodgers & Hammerstein and one other well-known musical of your choice. This second proposal does not have to be in the same style or genre. Please note that we do not decide which show we will be producing until after we have hired a director. Additionally, we are interested in a director with choreography experience (though it is not required for application). If you feel inclined to share, please include choreographic experience with your resume, a dance reel, and/or a choreographic vision in your proposal.



Currently, we are anticipating that the production will go up from November 6-8, 2025 at the Harold Prince Theatre in the Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts. Rehearsals are held Sunday through Thursday nights, from 6:30-10:30, starting early September. Flat fee: $3,000. Housing and/or Transportation fees are not provided. Proposals should be submitted to pennplayers@gmail.com by Friday, May 23rd. For more information, go to pennplayers.weebly.com or email Catherine Ellis at pennplayers.chair@gmail.com.
Salary: $3000
