Town Players of Newtown Invites Directors to Submit Plays for 2017

Town Players of Newtown is seeking play submissions from individuals interested in directing at the Little Theatre during the group’s 2017 season.

Potential directors are invited to submit up to three (3) scripts for consideration by the theater’s play selection committee – any combination of mainstage productions, black box productions or one acts. Town Players puts on a variety of shows each season, from farce to period pieces to modern drama. The only type of show the theater cannot consider is a full-fledged musical due to space restrictions. Submissions for a children’s summer theater production will also be considered.

Town Players is only looking to stage published works by established playwrights.

A play submission sheet is available for download at the Town Players website – www.newtownplayers.org – under Directors/How to Submit. If you would like a sheet sent to you, please request one by emailing info@newtownplayers.org. Submissions may be mailed to:

Town Players
Attn: Play Selection Committee
PO Box 211
Newtown, CT 06470

Submissions can also be scanned and emailed to info@newtownplayers.org with "Play Submission" in the subject line.

If you have not directed at Town Players in the past, please include a resume.

The submission deadline is September 15, 2016. Once all submissions are received, the committee will review them and let submitting directors know of their decisions.

For those interested in directing but don't have a particular play in mind, Town Players like to hear from you as well. Please send your resume, along with the time period you are available to direct, either via email or regular mail.

As a rule at Town Players, directors may not appear in their own productions.

Questions about this process in particular, or about directing at Town Players in general, may be submitted to info@newtownplayers.org.
