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

Potential directors are invited to submit up to three scripts for consideration by the theater's play selection committee. Any combination of mainstage productions, black box productions, or one acts are being accepted. Town Players puts on a variety of shows each season, from farce to period pieces to modern drama.

Submissions for a children's summer theater production will also be considered.

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, newtownplayers.org, under Directors/How to Submit. To have a sheet mailed out, 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.

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