Buck Creek Players is looking to produce a family friendly fall outdoor production in late September/Early October that ties in with the fall season. Last season's production of LEGEND OF SLEEPY HOLLOW was very successful and we are looking to expand this opportunity this year. Directors are encouraged to tie the show to the Halloween season and consider submissions that are easily able to be produced outdoors that are family friendly and have an approximate run time of 45 minutes to 1 hour. Productions that can be easily moved indoors to our mainstage in case of inclement weather are also encouraged. Please review the submission information below and we look forward to your ideas and submissions!
As a Director, how do I submit?
Please provide the following information in your submission (at a minimum):
(A) Program Selection Submission Form in either .pdf or Excel format. On the form, please include information on:
(B) Please submit a copy of each script (play and/or musical). Due to the nature of outdoor productions, submission of plays is highly encouraged, however, musicals will also be considered. For musical submissions, please be sure to also submit a copy of a cast recording (CD or .mp3 audio files) or a link to the music in addition to the script. Since the music is such an integral part of a musical, no musical submissions can be considered without a recording accompanying it.
(C) Your theatrical resume outlining past directing experience and theatrical background.
Please note the following:
If you choose to mail your submissions, please send to:
