Who directs at PPCT?

First and foremost, we want to work with folks who are truly excited about their vision for a show, and are committed to using the intricacies and quirks of a community-based theatre to bring that vision to life. 

Qualifications
Because every community works just a little bit differently, PPCT requires that all directors have experience either directing or stage managing a production for PPCT prior to directing with us. 

Resources
To support our directors In fulfilling their creative vision within our theatrical community, we offer two key resources: 
  • A production liaison from the Production Planning and Education Committee to serve as a consulting member of the production staff
  • A comprehensive Production Book which documents all policies and procedures, as well as defines roles and responsibilities for all members of the production team.
