The show MUST go on - Call for Directors!

Oh, how we've missed you! Subject to Provincial Health guidelines, Rivercity Players is excited to start planning some shows! We are asking for interested directors for their interest in future shows.

The Autumn show has been chosen: The Exquisite Hour, by Canadian playwright by Stewart Lemoine. This modern one-act play has a cast of two (one male, one female) and runs approximately one hour. Reviews describe a fun romantic comedy with a twist - like drinking lemonade on a sunny day with a shot a bourbon. For copies of the play and to express your interest in directing this play please email info@rivercityplayers.ca by August 25, 2021.

We are also hoping to line up more shows for Christmas and the Spring 2022 season. If you are a director or a producer who has a show in mind, we want to hear from you. Please submit a proposal as per the attached RFP document.

Our Playreading Committee has also been busy over the last year and has a list of recommendations if any interested directors want play ideas.

Play Reading Committee!

CALL FOR NEW RIVER CITY PLAYERS READING COMMITTEE

The River City Players board is asks for volunteers to join a new reading committee whose task will be to assess plays and other theatrical presentations for future production.

Initially, until the Covid regulations are relaxed, the parameters of choices will begin by looking at monologues and other items suitable for streaming on line (with comedy being the main emphasis). As an initial effort, consideration is being given to production to be released during December as a ‘Christmas’ treat for members and potential future audiences.

Thereafter, it has been suggested that one-act plays be considered, especially those favouring very minimum sets. This would likely be followed by two or three act offerings of material when the threat of Covid has dissipated. These should be chosen to fill the theatre for a long run as soon as the current health crisis has passed and designed to help the recover lost revenue as a result of Covid.

Members of the new Reading committee will have the opportunity to read the works at home before coming together possibly for a group reading but certainly to discuss the works for potential recommendation to the board.

Please contact the Chairman of the Reading Committee below at ballae@shaw.ca to express your interest before the end 14th of November.

Alan E. Ball Chairman of the Reading Committee
