After the resounding success of last year’s big musical (Mary Poppins), MAD is looking to keep spirits high with YOUR submission for 2025’s Fall Show.
The Fall Show is considered a large cast musical which will include a variety of opportunities for MAD members in acting, music, and dance. The submission for each show should include the director’s name (if applicable), the director’s resume (if applicable), proposed staff (which may include producer, music director, stage designer, etc.), and your vision for the show. The vision should present how the show will work for MAD and its audience (e.g. a brief synopsis of the show, potential cast demographics, type of dances required, casting flexibility (gender flips/double casting), information on technical aspects, stage layout plans, how to manage dated/sensitive material, etc.). If submitting as a director, include your resume and any pertinent information about your directing style. (Visit MAD’s production history page to peruse past years’ shows.)
Submitters do not need to be the proposed director of the show. Similarly, candidates can apply to be the Fall Show Director without attachment to a show.
If submitting for shows, candidates are allowed to submit up to five. Each show will be considered a separate submission, even when presented by the same person.
If you don’t have a full proposal ready by the deadline, submit your idea anyway. Every submission will receive full consideration.
Please email rachel.lense@nasa.gov with your submissions NO LATER THAN THURSDAY, MARCH 13 (03/13/2025).
