Voices Found Repertory is searching for three directors for our 2019-2020 season. Although we have roots in Shakespeare and new works, we want to hear about your passion project. Don't worry about following a specific theme or rules; just tell us about the story you are compelled to direct and why. Submissions are due by Saturday, January 26th to voicesfoundrep@gmail.com. Your proposal will be reviewed by the VFR Board of Directors, and we will be in contact with you thereafter to schedule a potential directorial presentation.
