Drama Works Theatre: Seeking Director for 2026 Play

Drama Works Theatre (Old Saybrook, Connecticut) seeks a director for its upcoming production of THE DEER AND THE ANTELOPE PLAY. A serious comedy about the value of family and friendship, the importance of self-forgiveness, and the special healing joy that comes to those who know how to “drink life to the dregs,” Mark Dunn’s THE DEER AND THE ANTELOPE PLAY tells the story of an East Texas family—a mother, daughter and grandmother—who face tragedy and assorted misfortunes head-on with the help of the strange young woman who comes to live with them: a possible ex-hooker who defines herself as “one who drinks from the well of life in big gulps.” Auditions will be held the last weekend in January with rehearsals beginning early March. Performances are April 24-May 3. Unpaid. We are a small black-box theatre. We particularly seek empathetic consensus-builders who guide members of the company toward a brave, cohesive storytelling experience.
