We’re looking ahead to our 2025 productions in the York Theatre Royal Studio and Theatre@41. 

Keen for a directing opportunity next year? If you’re a director based in York or the surrounding area, we’d love to hear from you to direct one of our two slots! The dates are:

  • York Theatre Royal Studio – 15 to 27 February 2025 (10 performances)
  • Theatre@41 – 26 October to 1 November 2025 (6 performances)

We’re open to receive proposals from directors of both classic and modern plays. However, plays proposed must have:

  • A cast of 6 or more
  • A simple set that can work in a black-box studio space

Here’s a list of YSCP productions over the past decade to give you an overview of the types of plays we’ve programmed in the past. Keen to put your hat in the ring to direct for YSCP but don’t have a play in mind? Get in touch with us and we can offer some suggestions.

Please submit your pitch (on one side of A4 together with details of any directing experience) by 11pm on Saturday 31 August and send it to yorksettlementcommunityplayers@gmail.com.

Directors will be supported by the YSCP committee throughout. Please note, this is an unpaid role. You are expected to rehearse on two weekday evenings and one weekend afternoon a week in York for a period of at least 8 weeks.

A YSCP panel will be talking to prospective directors soon after the closing date. Any questions, please don’t hesitate to drop us an email. We can’t wait to hear from you!
