Become a CTI Director
The work of the Director is central to the production of a play or musical, setting the vision for the production for everyone involved, bringing together the many pieces of a production—the script, actors, set, costuming, lighting, sound, music—into a unified whole. The Director’s work is most often based on a detailed study and analysis of the script to be produced. We are building a roster of interested Directors. When we select our seasons, we will be consulting this roster to select directors.

Director Application
Applications will be accepted through March 15th, 2022. The Applications Process has 2 parts:
Part 1:
- Submit a resume featuring your work as a theatrical director.
- Submit a one-paragraph letter of introduction. Even if you’ve directed here before, some members of our committee may not know you yet, personally or professionally.
- Submit the name of the production you’d like to direct.
- Tell us why you’d like to direct this production
- What ‘vision’ do you have for this production, what is in the production that makes you interested in directing it for CTI
- What production or artistic challenges do you foresee with directing this production at Powerhouse Theater? What suggestions do you have for overcoming these challenges?
- Provide phone and email for two to three References. Ideally, these should be people who have worked with you as a director and can speak to your collaboration style, theatrical skill sets, reliability, and insight.
Please make sure your name appears at the top of each document. Attach all files and send by email: [email protected].
If the committee thinks your proposal is a good fit for the production, we’ll invite you for an interview
