🌟 About the Season:
We plan to select five adult productions and one youth production. Our Play Reading Committee will table-read, discuss, and rank submissions based on:
– Technical and casting feasibility
– Audience appeal
– Artistic/educational value
– Alignment with MSP’s mission and audience
– Local production history
– Director readiness

​

🎄 For the holiday slot, we’re open to classic titles or creative seasonal alternatives—whatever best fits the spirit of the season.

​

🛠️ Directors are responsible for assembling their own production teams (props, costumes, hair/makeup, tech, set design/build). MSP manages all marketing, advertising, and ticketing.
