Playhouse 22 Seeking Play Submissions

Playhouse 22 is now accepting submissions for their 2016-17 season. For those who have submitted before, it may be beneficial to note that they have altered their submissions process.

The theatre will be considering musicals, comedies and dramas of unknown quantities for the season, which will run September through June. Those wishing to submit for the theater's "On the Edge" black box series should specify, although shows being submitted for the black box may be considered for the mainstage, and vice versa.

There will be two rounds of submissions, with a third round if needed. In the first round, would-be directors should submit no more than four shows, giving the name of each show, a one-paragraph summary of each show in their own words, and the applicant's email address and phone number. If a show is an original work, it should be thus indicated. The deadline for submissions is January 21. Once all submissions are received, the Play Selection Committee will review and select submissions to continue to the second round. Applicants whose submissions have been selected will be sent a questionnaire to be completed in ten days. If the options need to be narrowed down further, a third round of interviews will be conducted.

Once this has been done, the Play Selection Committee will place their suggestions before the theater board, hopefully by mid-February, which will deliberate and make their decision soon afterward.

To suggest shows, or for more information, contact submissions@playhouse22.org. Playhouse 22 is located 721 Cranbury Road, East Brunswick.
