WHAT IS BAKERSHAKE? Baker Shakespeare, colloquially known as BakerShake,

is Houston’s oldest consecu've-running Shakespeare

company, and is ran by students, alumni, staff, and

community volunteers at Rice University’s Baker Col-

lege. Every year, BakerShake members work to gener-

ate a shortlist of plays we are interested in seeing pro-

duced, and then we send this shortlist to poten'al

directors.

Any interested directors may then reserve a 'me to

pitch any shows from the shortlist that they are inter-

ested in direc'ng to the BakerShake members, who

will then work together to choose the director and

show for the spring 2015 produc'on.

WHAT DO WE LOOK FOR? Each director has an hour to pitch all shows they are

interested in. We ask that directors come with a de-

veloped vision including, but not limited to, the fol-

lowing components:

• Se4ng

• Costuming

• General set design

• Props

• Style of produc'on

• Ideas for cu4ng script to approx. 2 hours

• Es'mated budget

WHEN ARE PITCHES? Pitches are scheduled to occur on No-

vember 9th in the Baker college library

from 5p—11p. If we have enough di-

rectors respond, we also have the

space reserved November 10th. If you

are interested in pitching on of the

shows from our shortlist, contact ei-

ther Jon-Kyle Bailey or Molly Cisneros.

Please note that you only have one

hour total to pitch all the shows you

are interested in direc'ng.

CONTACT INFO If you are interested and want to reserve

a 'me to pitch, or have any ques'ons,

please contact one of the following peo-

ple:

RELEVANT INFO The show takes place inside the Baker

College commons, and being as such,

the stage must be func'onal within

this space while leaving the commons

in a usable state for students through-

out the day.

BakerShake is almost always done sole-

ly on a volunteer basis. It is not impos-

sible to receive financial compensa'on

for direc'ng, but such compensa'on is

very unlikely.

Regarding the content of some shows

on the shortlist and the fact that we’re

on a college campus, it could be bene-

ficial if you take the 'me to consider

how you’ll make some shows more

accessible for college students, as well

as the greater Houston area.
