Do not think of this as a complete production scheme. We just want to see that you're serious enough about directing to put significant thought into the play. Here are some questions that might be useful when writing a proposal. These questions are only to get you thinking. The most important skills for directors are probably not the theater-related ones.
Some great actors are terrible directors, and some terrible actors are great directors.
This is nowhere near as overwhelming as it may seem. We don't force you to communicate in any specific way. And finally, if you have a feeling about a play, or a reaction to it, or an idea of how it should be shown, that's really a vision waiting to be born. All it needs is commitment and conviction to turn it into something beautiful. The one-acts are a wonderful collective experience for Dramashop.
