Community Little Theater is actively seeking directors for our 2026-2027 season. We are looking for passionate directors who thrive in a community driven theater environment, and who are passionate about educating their teams and cast members throughout the process. We strive to include both classic favorites and newer works in our season and welcome all submissions for consideration. We are looking for experienced directors for our mainstage offerings, however, we also have a directors apprenticeship program for anyone interested on a directing path. You can find out more about this program by emailing our organization.
We ask that all members of our theater community, no matter what your role is, to abide by our mission statement as follows:
Community Little Theatre is a volunteer-driven, non-profit organization whose mission is twofold:
1. We foster creativity and education by providing opportunities for individuals of all ages to engage, learn, and grow in the performing arts.
