This past Sunday was the Season meeting with the Board of Directors. Weeks prior I gave them copies of the scripts I was proposing, plus two back-ups in case they didn't like those that I chose (for whatever reasons - hopefully legitimate ones - not just aesthetics). In addition I gave them a 4 page document outlining why I put the season together as I did. The season should be balanced and have a variety of works and you have to serve the producing membership as well as the audience. I also feel you need to have something in your season that might challenge your audience. In any case, after a lengthy discussion my first choice roster of plays were approved (pending availability of rights). There was one switch in scheduling, but that was minor in my eyes. Interestingly enough, the script I thought would be the biggest no-brainer was the one most challenged. It just goes to show you cannot know how other people will react to what you put forward.
Stay tuned for an announcement. it will probably be made during the Footlights Festival!
