Call for Show Proposals

WCT is starting to plan for it's 2008-2009 season and is interested in hearing from interested directors. The first step is to present a show proposal at the January 10, 2008 board meeting. A proposal should include, but is not limited to, show information such as a synopsis, size of cast, prefered production slot(s), special requirements for cast or staging. It should also include a projected budget for production along with all royalty and script costs. Please bring 10 copies of the written proposal. The meeting is scheduled for January 10, 2008 at 5:30 pm in the CCL conference room on the first floor of Meyer Hall.
All proposals will be considered at the February board meeting and the season will be set at that time. If you are unable to attend the January meeting or have any questions, please contact a board member or email wct@winfieldcommtheatre.com
