Alumnae Theatre Company is seeking submissions from non-union directors for its production of Public Enemy.

Three generations of a family (and one combative squirrel) gather together to argue over current events, finances, and culture, with everyone looking to blame someone else for society’s ills in this satirical examination of how judgment can both divide and unite people. A blistering, rowdy take on the family drama, Public Enemy asks, who’s really responsible for all our suffering? Winner of the 2015 prix Michel Tremblay.

Cast: 4 women (including 1 girl to play 11 years old), 3 men (including 1 teen boy), 1 squirrel

To apply, please email submissions@alumnaetheatre.com and include the following:

• A resume outlining your theatrical experience
• Contact information (including email address, phone number, and mailing address)

If selected to pitch, you will receive a full copy of the script(s) in which you expressed interest, guidelines for your written submission, and an invitation to present your pitch in-person at Alumnae Theatre.
