The Production Committee is looking forward to Newtowne’s 20th season (2023/2024) and we are looking for directors and other production team members! The shows being considered are on our “Short List” (see below). In addition to our Short List, we are also opening up submissions from our past shows (7 years or more since being on NTP’s stage) as a part of our 20th Season celebration!

If you are interested in directing any of these shows, please complete the Director's Packet outlining your vision for the production(s) you would like to direct.
Submit your application to:  production.chair@newtowneplayers.org
​
As the Production Committee chooses our 20th season we will be looking at potential directors’ past experience in theater, a detailed vision for the show, knowledge of the script, technical and casting considerations and, of course, availability of rights for a show.

If you are not interested in directing but would like to be part of a production team (producer, set designer, assistant director, music director, stage manager, etc.) please email us and let us know. 

We look forward to hearing from you!

The submission deadline is January 3, 2023.

Please feel free to contact the Production Committee at  production.chair@newtowneplayers.org  with any questions you have regarding this process.

If you are not interested in directing but would like to be part of a production team please email us and let know. We look forward to hearing from you!
