Dear Good Friends and
Members of ECHO Players:
We need your brilliance.
We need your experience and, most of all,
we need your plays.

ECHO PLAYERS 2026/27 SEASON INVITATION
TO SUBMIT A DIRECTING PROPOSAL

DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSIONS:
September 30th, 2025

Your Artistic Direction Committee (ADC) puts together the season of plays you so graciously support. If you have ever directed and have a play you are hankering to put on, this notice could signal a crowning moment of achievement. We want three plays to fill out the 2026-27 season. To that end, we invite you to submit a proposal. Just fill out the Play Submission Form, and send it, along with an electronic copy of your script to ADC Chair Ian Morton at mortonian2330@gmail.com. You can also just email Ian for more information and questions.

There are two great documents you will want to read. CHOOSING OUR PLAYS outlines ECHO’s timelines, criteria and guidelines for this season. This includes two new developments:

Our season comprises of 4 productions but we are only looking for three (the October slot is already filled).... and
If you are submitting for the "Festival" show (April-May slot) we welcome - but do not limit ourselves to - submissions that adhere to a “Global Majority” standard. Click for more info. However, if your "dream play" does not fit into this criteria - don't worry. Submit it anyway!

Please also enjoy our brand new updated ECHO PLAYERS STAGE DIRECTOR’S MANUAL which clearly lays out the minimum expectations we have for our directors..

Looking forward to hearing from you before our deadline of September 30.

Thanks and don't forget to order your seasons tickets.

Warm regards from all of us at the ADC.
