Individuals interested in submitting to direct must be a member of the Little Theatre, and must be approved by the Board of Trustees. All prospective directors, including those who have previously directed at Little Theatre, must complete the "Application to Direct" before being considered for the season if they have not completed the application since its adoption in 2021.

The "Application to Direct" will be used by the Executive Director and Board of Trustees to review the qualifications of new directors. This review will determine whether or not the individual is approved to direct at Little Theatre.

If selected to the season, Directors receive a $1,000 stipend at the conclusion of their production. Directors have the final oversight, and are held accountable, for every aspect of their productions.

Creative team. Directors have the right to select the members of their production teams. We require each production to have an Assistant Director and a Stage Manager. The Executive Director is available to assist with finding and recommending staff. First Time Little Theatre Directors may be required to work with a recommended Assistant Director for their first production.

Rehearsal calendar. Rehearsal schedules are set by each production. Recent shows have typically rehearsed Sunday through Thursday evenings, with actors called only when needed, and most directors accommodate auditions for the show which follows, generally on the Sunday and Monday after the prior show opens.

Budget. Directors are responsible for submitting their proposed budget to the Board. Sample budgets are available from the Treasurer.
