The Seaway Valley Theatre is owned and operated by the Seaway Valley Theatre Company, a not-for-profit charitable corporation under the governance of an elected board of directors. The Seaway Valley Theatre receives no operational funding from any level of government. We rely on ticket sales, rentals, donations and sponsorships as our primary sources of operating revenue.

• To help support and expand our child and youth programing through production opportunities and theatre camps which run over the March Break and summer holidays once it is safe to do so
• To fund repairs, renovations, and maintenance of our theatre building
• To support and improve the quality of our shows re: playwright, sound, and lighting when it is safe to do so
• To fund overall operations such as utilities

Audition Notice
DOLLARS RAISED SO FAR
"The play's the thing..."
Have you ever wanted to take the helm of one of our productions? Is there a play on your bucket list that you've always wanted to stage? Are you eager to learn new leadership skills? We enthusiastically invite any and all who are interested in directing or producing a show to approach us with ideas, and we eagerly await what will be bought to the table.
The deadline for submitting proposals for an upcoming season is January 15th of every calendar year. This is to give the board adequate time to study and consider the artistic and commercial viability of potential projects for the next season. Those which have been accepted are made public with the announcement of our following season, which is usually done in spring.
All proposals must meet the following criteria for consideration:
1. Generally speaking, we aim to stage four shows per season: one Broadway style musical and one children's musical at the Aultsville Theatre, and two smaller, non-musical plays in a more intimate venue.
2. Anyone interested in putting forth a show proposal should contact either the company president, Lise Richer, at svtc.lise.richer@gmail.com, or the artistic advisor, Andy Davidson, at aad@twcny.rr.com. Andy also has access to a collection of scripts that potential directors and producers can peruse.
3. All show proposals must include, but not be limited to, the following:
4. The board's final decision will be based on a project's overall feasibility. All of the above, including both the production team's experience and the anticipated audience turnout, are factors in determining if a show proposal is accepted.
5. Once a show proposal is accepted, the producer must prepare a detailed working budget within thirty days of acceptance and re-submit it for board approval. From there, an updated monthly budget must also be maintained to ensure that expenses are kept on track. It must be available upon request by the company's executive producer or their designate.

- The number of cast members.
- The names of the producer and the director.
