Thank you for your interest in directing a mainstage show with Edmonds Driftwood Players at the Wade James Theater in Edmonds, Washington. We are a volunteer-based, 501(c)3 non-profit community theater and have been entertaining and educating our community since 1958, making us one of the oldest, continually operating community theaters in Washington State.

Interviews are conducted by the members of the Play Selection Committee. At the end of the interviews, the committee will make their hiring recommendations to the board. After approval by the board, contracts will be offered to five directors - one for each of our five mainstage shows. Directors become an employee of the Board of Directors and will be partnered with a producer who will support and assist with the show. We are asking our directors to be available this year to attend our annual members' meeting on Monday, March 6, 2017 at 7:30pm. Each director will have 2 - 3 minutes to share their vision for their show and at the end of the meeting, members will be invited to volunteer for the shows that interest them. This is a great opportunity to recruit backstage crew, set builders, board operators and more. If you have any questions about this process, please feel free to contact EDP Managing Director, Kim Smith at md@edmondsdriftwoodplayers.org.

PLEASE NOTE THIS IS A CHANGE: All interviews will be held at the Driftwood Training Room at the Admin Office. 306 Main Street, Lower Level of the Bank of America Building - entrance faces the parking lot on the south side of the building. There is a waiting room in the lobby area.

All candidates must sign up for an interview time and submit the following documents via email to the Managing Director by January 31.
