Director Proposal Initiative

11/24/2015

0 Comments

 
On December 1, 2015, we will begin accepting Director Proposal submissions for the second time. Last go around, we had over 50 proposals from well over 30 directors. After narrowing the proposals down to 4 finalists, we finally landed on Lavina Jadhwani and her proposal for Julius Caesar (which you can check out in March 2016). We read so many thoughtful and creative proposals and were able to meet a handful of very talented Chicago directors through this process that we cannot wait to see what this round will bring.

For many very good reasons, most companies choose their seasons to match their mission and goals and then look for a director. However, we have always worked with the director first, starting with a story that they're connected to telling. If the story can be told through our aesthetic and we feel it is an important story to share with our community, then we have a match.

As a non-Equity storefront theatre, we value giving opportunities to artists who are getting started in Chicago. What better way to showcase your talent then by directing a show that YOU want to do?

Hey all - William here!

In a very cool turn of events, I'm one of the one-act judges at the Virginia High School League's 4A West Regional One-Act Theatre Festival. Oof, what a mouthful. I'm flying out to Virginia November 21 to represent The Brown Paper Box Co. as a founding member and Executive Director. 

Very excited to see what each school has to offer within their 35 minute time slot (what!?). Cannot wait to experience what they've worked so hard to present and congratulate their hard work.

Follow me on Twitter @brownpaperboxco and Instragram @bpbco to see all the fun this weekend!
