T&G Directors: Past, Present, & Potential

02/19/2013

As chairman of the Play Selection Committee, I hope you're reading some great scripts, and want to say that we can't wait to receive your submissions!

Another place to begin your search for scripts is the T&G History page - you can see all the productions we've done over the years & get a sense of the types of shows that we usually do, and you might even find one that you want to revive, especially if it's been 20-30 years since the production.

The Play Submission page on our website is now active - you can download a copy (PDF) of the submission form there. If you have difficulty, or would like to learn more, contact play selection chair Shannon DeYong for more information!

Play submissions are currently open for the 63rd season. Please contaact Play Selection Committee chairperson Shannon DeYong for more information.

If you're trying to get script ideas, here's a great resource: The Community Theatre Green Room - it has hundreds of shows in its database, & you can browse by genre, title, or playwright, or just view all the shows alphabetically. They also offer some brief commentary on commonly done or well-known productions.

This has some really useful information about what it means to be a director in community theatre. Some of the policies and methods are slightly different in terms of how plays are submitted & selected from theatre to theatre, but the information about the qualities a director should possess & suggestions for how to prepare & get more experience is quite useful.

This page is also a good spot to let people know about shows you'd like to see at Town & Gown - you might give potential directors some ideas about shows to submit that they hadn't considered! :)

The Play Selection Committee is almost completely formed, and is ready to accept submissions for Town & Gown's 2013-2014 season. If you've never directed before, or are just curious about how plays are submitted, selected, and put on, this page is a great place to learn more!
