Town Players of Newtown is seeking play submissions from individuals interested in directing at The Little Theatre during the group’s 2016 season.

Potential directors are invited to submit up to three scripts for consideration by the theater’s play selection committee. 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. 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. Visit www.newtownplayers.org. Local directors can also request a submission form via email to 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.

Those who have not directed at Town Players in the past, are asked to include a resume with their submission.

Deadline for consideration is October 15, 2015. Once all submissions are received, the committee will review them and let submitting directors know of their decisions.

Town Players would also like to hear from those interested in directing but who do not have a particular play in mind. Send resume, along with the time period 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.
