GPT’s Purdon Studio Theatre Seeks Directors for '10-'11 Season

Play directors are now being sought for the 2010-2011 season of the Purdon Studio Theatre (PST), a performance arm of Grosse Pointe Theatre. Among the venues for the PST is the Activities Center at the Edsel & Eleanor Ford House in Grosse Pointe Shores.

The Purdon Studio Theatre presents plays that offer adult audiences non-traditional theatre in a "black box" setting, a large room in which seating and staging can vary from show to show.

"This is an excellent opportunity for directors to offer works that explore human nature or delve into subject matter that may not be included in the regular Grosse Pointe Theatre season," says Purdon Studio Theatre Committee Chair, Dale Pegg,

Directors interested in this venue are asked to submit their proposals by April 15th, 2010, to the PST Committee. Directors do not have to be members of Grosse Pointe Theatre to apply. Please note that, if chosen, the director is unpaid, and membership in Grosse Pointe Theatre is required. All production costs (including royalties, costumes, sets, lighting, etc.) are paid by Grosse Pointe Theatre.

The Purdon Studio Theatre Committee asks that directors submit:
• a copy of the proposed play; (No original scripts. Only published plays will be considered.)
• a concise paragraph conveying the director's concept of the show;
• resume of the director's theatre experience, and
• a tentative budget, broadly outlining anticipated expenses
