A Letter from the "Play Selection" Committee

Hello All,

Seth Renne here and have I got news for you... Gallery Theater is starting the process of selecting our 2009 season and I will be acting as the chair for the play selection committee.

As we enter into our 40th anniversary season, we have some very exciting shows coming our way. I’m especially excited to see some recent theatrical hits being done here on the Gallery stage. Proof is the 2001 Pulitzer Prize Winner for drama. High School Musical is based off the 2006 hit DCOM… Disney Channel Original Movie. The 1996 revival of Chicago is the longest running revival in Broadway history and the film adaptation won the 2003 Oscar™ winner for Best Picture.

Not only are we presenting these exciting newer shows, but some old favorites. Nunsense, Inherit the Wind, and Peter Pan have all been produced here before and are back by popular demand. Over the years Gallery’s patrons have brought many shows like these to our attention through simple suggestion, or through the always fun “play day” many of you may remember from years past. As we look forward to our 2009 season we hope to include shows that you, the patrons want to see.

So here is the deal... If there is a show you are interested in seeing produced here, send your ideas my way and we will give them our full consideration. My commitment to you is to thoughtfully consider all submissions. But please remember, submitting a play for consideration does not guarantee a slot in the 2009 season. Based off the few submissions we have already received, and information gathered from some recent surveys, I can tell you that we are in for a great 41st season.

Submissions can be made to my box at the Gallery Box office, by e-mail to smrenne@hotmail.com OR by leaving a comment here on the blog.
