Watertown Players Community Theater Annual Informational Meeting for Directors

The Watertown Players Community Theater Board of Directors is inviting people interested in directing or learning how to direct a musical or play for our company to monitor our Facebook account and continue checking this site for announcements of upcoming meetings with the theater’s production committee. All interested individuals, including past directors, present directors, and potential directors, are invited, and strongly encouraged to attend one of these meetings. They will be an opportunity for past directors to review the proposal and production process, for current directors to share their experience, and for new or potential directors to tour the theater, ask questions, and become familiar with the Watertown Players production process and expectations. This event is presented on an annual basis. A second, follow up meeting will be presented as a companion several weeks from the initial meeting.

The Watertown Players Theater is located inside the Market, 210 S Water Street, Watertown. Information presented will include the show proposal process, the audition process, assembling your production staff, a tour of the theater, Q & A session, and more. For questions about this event please email info@watertownplayers.org. Links to pertinent forms can be found on our website, watertownplayers.org.

The Watertown Players Community Theater was founded in 1988 by local historian and author Bill Jannke. At first the group was loosely organized and met once a year to produce a holiday play at the Octagon House Museum. The company still presents these annual events. Beginning in 1996, the group moved from a once-a-year production to a summer musical theater. Today, the Watertown Players have produced such musicals as “The Music Man”, “Hello Dolly”, and “You’re a Good Man Charlie Brown”. In addition to musicals, the group has produced numerous comedies, such as “Savannah Sipping Society”. “Barefoot in the Park”. Other forms of entertainment, including concerts and theater trivia night, educational efforts for youth and children highlighted with workshops resulting in a production performance, and most recently a new Senior Program are also part of the Watertown Players resume. After being a “nomadic” group for many years while mounting productions at various locations around Watertown, the Watertown Players Theater established its current location inside The Market in 2014. The designation as a 501 ( c ) (3) was finalized in 2010. The group proudly continues to be an all-volunteer organization.
