Back in 1931 a group of thespians, members of the Bolton Dramatic Society, decided to set up Bolton Little Theatre. They were determined to present the best of contemporary and classic drama for which they felt they needed a theatre under their own control, as a precedent for this was being set all over the country. Today the theatre, based on Hannover Street in the centre of Bolton, continues to
engage with audiances of all ages. Offering seven plays a season, from classics to comedy, this award winning amateur theatre can certainly count itself on a par with many of the professional theatres.

DO YOU WANT TO DIRECT?
Then read on!
Now our current season has come to an end, and preparations for the first productions of next season are underway, we on the Play Production Team – a small committee that puts the season together - are already beginning to plan for 2024/25. We’re always on the lookout for suitable plays to produce, whether they be reliable, ‘bums-on-seats’ classics, or something a bit different or challenging, but we also welcome new directors.
With that in mind we’re inviting proposals from individuals who would like to direct here at Bolton Little Theatre. Maybe you’ve already performed on our stage and always wanted the chance to direct, or perhaps you’re a performer or a seasoned director from the wider am dram circuit. Is there a particular play that you would love to have a go at?
We’re not looking for a long wish list of plays that you think would be good to see produced, but rather one play that you are really passionate about directing.
Your proposal should include a summary of the play including title, author, cast requirements, and a brief synopsis. It should also include your vision for the production covering such things as staging, period, style, costume etc. The proposal should specify whether you think the play would work best on our main stage – a traditional proscenium stage with a raked auditorium seating 163, or in our Forge Theatre – a very intimate studio with thrust stage and a capacity of 61.
Also of interest would be a little about you – your background in theatre, the details of any plays that you have already directed (if any), the type of plays and roles that you prefer etc.
If you would like to put forward a proposal for consideration please send it, including a copy of the script, to the theatre by the closing date of 30th September 2023 to:
PLAY PRODUCTION TEAM, Bolton Little Theatre, Hanover Street, Bolton. BL1 4TG.
Or if you’d prefer you can drop it in to the theatre in person. There’s always someone here on Monday evenings between 7.30 and 9pm when there’s no show on.
Remember to include your contact details - address, phone number and email address.
We will return the copy of the script, but unfortunately we cannot guarantee the provision of detailed feedback on those proposals that are rejected.
Looking forward to hearing from you!
