Call for 2023-24 Season Directors and Plays

Pul-Tight Players call for directors for 2023-24 season

Calling all directors! Pull-Tight Players is now accepting director submissions for its 2023-2024 season.

New directors and fresh production ideas are always welcome. If you have an interest in, and a vision for, a specific show you would like to submit for consideration, we would love to hear from you. Or, if you’re interested in directing at Pull-Tight but don’t necessarily have a show in mind, we can provide you a list of suggested shows from our Playreading Committee. This would be a great place to start. Perusal copies of scripts from this list are also available upon request.

The first step is to complete the Director Consideration Form, and if applicable, the Play Submission Form (both linked below). Please ensure that you follow all instructions and note important dates and deadlines. Also consider any crew members you may recruit to assist should you be granted a slot for your show.

The deadline for director submissions is September 1. Use the Google Forms links below. Or, if you prefer, download a PDF of the submission packet and send the completed forms to our Playreading Committee chair (contact info is provided on the forms).

You will then be asked to present your vision to the Pull-Tight Board of Directors at our meeting on October 23 at 4:30 p.m..

If you have any questions about this process, contact any current Board member for more information.

We look forward to hearing from you!

President’s Blog – July 2022

It’s hard to believe we are about to begin our 54th season at Pull-Tight. These past few years have been very difficult for the world, quite frankly, and we are so grateful to everyone who helped us stay on track, from the Board of Directors to our committee members, our volunteers, and of course our dedicated patrons. It was certainly all of us pulling together as a community that helped us weather the storm.

I hope you all got to see our last production of Neil Simon’s The Odd Couple. It was such a fun experience, and we thank JK Gregg and her very talented cast and crew for delighting us all! Click HERE to enjoy photos from the show.

In addition, kudos to Leslie Berra and Jeanne Drone, co-chairs of this year’s Knot Awards Banquet. It was quite simply a ball! Thank you again to all the entertainers, presenters, and volunteers who helped make the evening a resounding success! Click HERE for a recap of our fun evening and to see this year’s award winners.

Next up is The Play that Goes Wrong. It will be as much fun as its sounds! Sarah Kieffner and her cast and crew are hard at work to bring us this incredibly funny show. The Box Office opens on July 18 and the show opens on July 29.

Again, we are so grateful to live in the community we do and to enjoy such enormous support from you all. See you at the theater!

Pull-Tight Players Board of Directors

That 70s Knot Awards Show logo, Pull-Tight Players in Franklin, Tenn.

More than two years after a pandemic shutdown, Pull-Tight Players celebrated an abbreviated season with a 1970s-themed event. The 53rd Knot Awards Banquet took place at the Fieldstone Farms community clubhouse in Franklin, Tenn. Board member parliamentarian Leslie Berra and outgoing board member and vice-president Jeanne Drone served as co-chairs of the celebration. Themed costumes, food from Martin’s Barbecue, classic songs, and numerous awards helped to fill the evening with laughter and cheers.
