Interested in getting involved, but not (just) an actor? Well, have we got some opportunities for you.

For our upcoming production of A Streetcar Named Desire, we are looking to fill the following crew positions:

Set Designer/Builders

Lighting Designer

Costume Designer

Assistant Stage Manager

Props Assistant

At this time we are also recruiting for our Board of Directors. The Board is a  group of experienced theatre professionals who volunteer their time to guide and direct the operations of Seoul Players.  The time committment and types of work involved vary by position and time of year, but in general a board member’s duties consist of:

attending board meetings every 4-6 weeks (usually in Itaewon, Seoul)

cooperating with other board members to plan Seoul Players productions, fundraisers, and other events

being available as needed to help with productions

representing Seoul Players, and being a source of information about us, to the public and to the press

many board members also choose to perform in one or more of our productions, though this is not required.

In addition…

Artistic Associates are expected to occupy a core role (director, production manager, stage manager, creator) on at least one mainstage production per year.

Outreach Associates are expected to  promote Seoul Players events and performances to the  media, and to coordinate fundrasing efforts.

We are also hoping to fill the roles of Technical Director (to take a leadership role with regards to all things technical) and Administrative Director (to head up maintenance of our mailing list, ticketing, etc).

We ask that board members be able to commit to working with us for at least 6 months, though a year or more is preferred.

This is an exceptional opportunity to help shape the expat arts scene in Seoul as it continues to grow, as well as a great resume-builder for those planning to continue a career in the performing arts back home or elsewhere around the world. Interested applicants should contact us at seoulplayers@gmail.com with a resume and letter of intent detailing how you’d like to work with us:)

We know you’re all excited about our upcoming auditions for Streetcar, we sure are! Well, we are ALSO very excited to check out Daegu Theatre, who did their own production of Streetcar back in September, and will be remounting it for a special performance at Whitebox Theatre in Seoul on December 3rd. Check it out!!!

Seoul Players are very proud and excited to announce our next production, Tennessee Williams’ classic, A Streetcar Named Desire which will be performed during the last two weekends of March.

Currently we are looking for technicians, assistant stage managers, set and costume designers, and running crew. If you are interested in any of these positions, please shoot us an email at seoulplayers at gmail dot com!

We will also be holding AUDITIONS on December 10 & 11.

Where: Bar Carmen in Kyungnidan

Who: Actors of all ethnicities, able to southern accents.

When: December 10 & 11, 10am – 6pm

Prepare: A short modern (from the 20th century) monologue*

You don’t have to audition with your southern accent on, but be prepared at least to show us that you can do one.

*we will also have sides available for cold reads, but prepared monologues are strongly preferred.

Please email auditions@seoulplayers.com to book an audition time!

As with all our shows, the rehearsal schedule will be set based on actors’ availability.

We are now fully booked for Rocky Horror tomorrow night at Club After. If you have reservations, this means you need to pick them up by 8:55 or they WILL be sold to someone on the waiting list.

If you didn’t make a reservation yet, there is still hope! Generally a few people will make a reservation and then not show up, or arrive late. Capitalize on this by showing up early and we’ll add you to a waiting list – you may get lucky! Or, you could guarantee admission by volunteering to help out with ticket sales before the show!

Because we are expecting an extremely full house tomorrow, we need some extra help with ticket sales and crowd control! If you haven’t yet booked tickets, or would prefer to keep your 10,000 won, this is a great way to see the show for free!

Saturday’s Round Two finished as all quality theatre festivals should: covered in ketchup and with an EPIC rock-scissor-paper battle!

Congratulations to the winners of Round Two! – The winning script was “Lifelines” by Donna Hoke, directed by Jason Stone, and featuring Mark Savoie, Jessica Zakula and Jonny Hendrix.

Congratulations as well to second-place winners “The Best Ever Creation Story Contest” by Eoin Carney, directed by Kirk Dickens and featuring Jake Disch, Elissa Jo Roberts, Sheila Ameri, Sasha Velvet, Lindsay Dunahee, Lindsey Disharoon, and Corey Brown.

These two shows tied off in the applause-o-meter, so we had to decide via rock-scissor-paper DEATHMATCH.

We all had a hoot putting this festival together, and we hope you’ll join us to do it all again next year! Submissions are officially open:)

Congratulations to the WINNERS of round one! The winning script was the HILARIOUS dance/theatre piece “Gotta Feeling That Tonight…”
Written by Monique Simpson, directed by Kate Saretsky, and featuring Jonathan Toups, Quinn Olbrich, and Lindsay Crabtree Swoboda, this show was chosen by our audience as their favourite for the evening (using the oh-so-scientific applause-o-meter).
