Before you begin, please read our Application Guide, which can be found in the Application Package. This provides you with our basic expectations, further information about the selection process and some helpful tips to consider when putting together your application. 

Here is a link to the application form.

You will need to submit:

• A cover letter containing:

  - Your company’s mandate/mission statement and values, as well as the history of the company or the reasons you founded it.

  - why your company is a good fit for Live Five’s season.

  - A brief synopsis of the play.

  - Why you are choosing to produce this play & why Saskatoon audiences should see it. 

  - Any other pertinent planning details that you wish to include.

• A copy of the play. If it is being written please include an up to date draft/written pitch and a plan for development. If it is a published script not in the public domain please confirm that the rights are available. It is important we can read what you want to do! 

• Your preliminary budget. There is an example of what this could look like in the application package. Feel free to make it your own, the more details the better! 

• The resume of the lead applicant/producer.

• The resumes of the rest of the confirmed team.

• Any support materials that you have. If you are a first time producer it is highly encouraged for you to get a letter of support from someone who can vouch for your ability to take on this job.
