What QMT is looking for in a Director:

- Excellent communication skills, especially with teens and parents
- Strong ability to use email, online calendars, Facebook, and other means of communication to coordinate with actors, parents, production staff, and the theatre.
- Budget and scale awareness. Our intensive is just that, an intensive. There are only three weeks from casting to performance, so set, costumes and other dressings will need to function at a smaller scale than our mainstage shows.  
- Willingness to work in an open, creative environment and ability to accept input from other team members.
- Zero tolerance for any discrimination or harassment.
- Commitment to actor safety, which includes the ability to act quickly and decisively in the best interest of any actor should the need arise. Actor safety is our highest priority.
- Strong problem-solving skills.
- Ability to manage a production team (i.e., stage manager, choreographer, costumer, sound and lighting designers, set designer, and music director) and position them to do their best work.
- Ability to manage a cast of teen actors ages 16 - 20 and position them to do their best work.

Stipend:  Director stipend is $1,120. No allowances are available for travel, food or housing.

Answer the following questions about the summer intensive and yourself. This gives QMT a chance to get to know you a bit better,  both as a person and as a potential director. Think of it as a written interview where QMT can get an idea of how well you would fit with intensive.
Why are you interested in directing the show? *
Tell us your ideas about the show.  Licensing often restricts changes to the script, location, genders, etc., but what is your vision? *
Do you foresee any technical challenges with the show?  And if so, do you have ideas on how to address them? *
Do you already have a production team that has agreed to do this show? If you do, list them below along with their positions. Having production staff is not required, but is an excellent first step. QMT will help the show find all necessary staff. *
Please describe your directing style.
