Do you have a passion for working with young talent? Whether you’re an experienced director or a student director eager to make your mark under the guidance of an adult mentor, Regional Performing Arts is seeking creative proposals for our upcoming season.

We welcome a variety of proposals—no restrictions on the type of show as long as it’s age-appropriate and aligned with our mission.
What You Need to Know
- If your proposal is chosen, you and your production team will need to undergo a background check to ensure the safety and well-being of our young actors.
