Confetti Stage needs your help!
Are you imaginative and curious about directing (even if you’ve never directed a play before in your life?) Want to make new friends who will help you execute your creative vision and find your directorial voice?
Then keep reading. Confetti Stage is running our 20th short play festival this fall, and we have some incredible shows that need directors, including:
“Game of Moans” by Laura Darling
After a strange turn of events, a couple retreats to a sleazy motel to watch something very special. Along the way, friendships, trust, and the location of batteries are questioned.
“Unlocking the Past” by Karleen Hayden
As stipulated in their grandmother’s will, estranged siblings Carl and Susan must meet
with Grandma’s lawyer together in order to receive their inheritance. The forced
confrontation brings up past hurts, shared memories, and a future neither of them had
anticipated. Turns out that old keys can open more than the doors to Grandma’s old
house.
“Can’t Play Dead” by Stephen Henel
This show takes place in the aftermath of a zombie apocalypse. The zombies have won. More frightening than that: they know they’ve won. Join zombie pundit Guptill Franklinson and their panel of experts, including Reverend J.D. Hogswater; Social Media Influencer/Secretary of Education Libby Cornetto; Fairfax University Professor of Human Studies, Dr. Elias Framingham; and Glen Jenkins, a human, as they answer the biggest hot button issue of the day, “Human Beings: Harmless Curiosity or Existential Threat?”
“God Walks Into A Bar” by Ken Hauser
God, if you choose to believe it is God and not a delusional bum named Desmond, comes by earth for the first time in 30,000 years and has a conversation with Jon and Molly, two denizens of a neighborhood bar. The play is a comedy but tackles the subject of bigotry within religion.
Auditions will be held on two days between August 4 and August 7, with rehearsals 2-3 times a week depending on availability.
Please send an email to confettistageinc@gmail.com expressing your interest along with your theatre resume (if you have one). We will send you the scripts and questionnaire to get started! Applications are due by 7/16.
