Spring Comedy
THERE GOES THE BRIDE
by Ray Cooney and John Chapman
Timothy Westerby is overworked, underpaid, stressed out, and his daughter is getting married in what he thinks is an overly lavish and expensive ceremony. Indeed, he's ripe for a nervous breakdown. On the morning of the wedding, he has one in the form of Polly, a gorgeous girl who just wants to give herself to him. Trouble is, she's just a hallucination! That's not apparent to Timothy, though, who's convinced that Polly is totally real and is thrilled to have this sexy guest at the wedding. Comedy ensues as the other guests – including his wife – aren’t so thrilled.

"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 our 2022-2023 season is Monday, February 28th. 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 at the Seaway Valley Theatre.
2. Anyone interested in putting forth a show proposal should contact either the company president, Lise Richer, at RicherL@svtc.ca, 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 play's the thing..."
With the COVID-19 pandemic now within measurable distance of its end, the SVTC's board has decided to go forth and make plans for a full playbill for our 2021-2022 season. New directors are most welcome indeed, so if you have ever wanted to be at the helm of one of our shows, now is your chance. The deadline for submissions for the new season is Monday, March 1st.
As well, we are still looking for directors who would like to direct a show for the remainder of the current season. Whether you have a play on your wish list or are willing to direct a show of our own choosing, we would love to hear from you.
All proposals will be considered, but those with smaller casts will likely be the most practical given health guidelines and social distancing. Productions including music and singing will also be considered as the board feels that adequate provisions have been made to produce these safely.
We can provide several documents which show you what we require, such as sample budgets, excerpts from our standards and practices manual, and more.
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 staged at our own venue.
2. Anyone interested in putting forth a show proposal should contact either the company president, Lise Richer, at richerl@svtc.ca, 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.

- A copy of the script. (A Dropbox folder is available to submit and distribute electronic versions of scripts.)
- A personal summary of the play by the director.
- The anticipated performance dates.
- The number of cast members.
- The names of the producer and the director.
- A detailed budget including estimated revenues and expenses, costumes, set construction costs, royalties, scripts/scores, etc.
- If a professional is needed in any capacity, it must also be noted on the proposal form with the appropriate fees added to the list of expenses.
