2025 Director Proposals – “Groundhog Day”

“Groundhog Day” Director Proposals Being Accepted – Deadline September 3rd

Annapolis Summer Garden Theatre (ASGT), an outdoor community theatre celebrating its 59th anniversary in 2025, is seeking proposals from potential directors for one of the three productions planned for 2025 – “Groundhog Day” (MTI – Music Theatre International) from July 31, 2025 to August 31, 2025. We are open to creative settings and interpretations.

Our first production of 2025 will be “Disaster” (MTI – Music Theatre International) from May 22, 2025 to June 14, 2025, was a director/show proposal and will be directed by Shane Jensen. Our second production, “The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas” (Concord Theatricals), playing from June 26, 2025 to July 19, 2025 was also a director/show proposal. This production will be directed by Mark Briner.

We are seeking a director who has a passion to direct “under the stars” and understands and appreciates the rewards and challenges of presenting a musical outdoors in our historic setting across from the City Dock in downtown Annapolis.

Proposals should be fully developed with suggested staffing for key roles, if possible, and will be accepted until September 3, 2024. Interviews will begin after September 15th with a goal of presenting recommendations to the Board of Directors in September. All proposals will be acknowledged. After review by the Artistic Committee, we may ask for references.

ASGT is committed to nurturing a diverse and vibrant community of artists, volunteers and patrons that actively supports our presence in the community. We strive for professional quality in our community theatre productions and strive to cultivate a welcoming, fun and respectful atmosphere for all. We offer small stipends for key artistic staff positions.
