Circle Players requesting show submissions

Circle Players is holding an open call for show submissions from directors for the 2014-2015 season.

Located at 416 Victoria Ave., Piscataway, Circle is looking for a balanced season with some classics, some comedies, and some drama. Potential directors may submit up to four titles of any variety. Circle is not considering musicals for next season, but one submission can be a children’s show. Do not submit titles that are also being submitted to other theaters. Deadline for submissions is Aug. 30, 2013

In the past, limited comedies have been received, so please consider that in your submissions.

According to its mission statement, “Circle Players promotes appreciation for the art and tradition of theater by entertaining, enriching, and educating the community. Circle Players also offers alternatives to mainstream entertainment by presenting both classic and newer plays, with emphasis on seldom-seen material performed in a unique and intimate theater-in-the-round setting.

“By providing an environment to learn more about theater arts, Circle Players offers opportunities for volunteers, members and participants to enhance their lives through educational theater programs and workshops offered to the community at large.”

Include your full contact information, your availability for Sept. 2014 through July 2015, your theatrical resume, and contact information for at least two theatrical references. Your list of titles of submissions should include a brief synopsis for each show, no more than one page for each show.

Once all submissions are received and reviewed, select directors will be called in for a short personal and artistic interview, no later than Nov. 30.

Script copies are not needed with the initial submission. If Circle does not have access to a copy of any title being considered, a photocopy or electronic copy only will be needed no later than Sept. 30, 2013. None of these scripts will be returned.

The hard deadline for submissions is Aug. 30, 2013. Questions can be directed to circleplayersnj@gmail.com, or by phone to (732) 968-7555.
