2009 anyone?

Lars Jensen is not a Melville committee member. Myself, Jodie, and Geoff Leeder are on the committee. The plays were chosen by a sub committee, who were not aware of the identity of the submitting director. The plays were chosen primarily on the content of the play. After the plays were read and selected, the identity of the director was revealed before the final decision was made. Four other play submissions were received. Two were withdrawn. One director submitted two plays, one of which was selected. One submission was received a month after the closing date, and after the choices had been made. So, we chose from what was available. Maybe the reason that Melville committee members are directing three of the six seasons next year, is becuse we took the time and effort to find a play and actually submit it to the club. Had the plays received for consideration not fitted our plans for a mostly light-hearted, 2009, we were prepared to search out plays and directors that did.
