The Players Theatre is dedicated to creating space for those to create.  Improv and Sketch Comedy is an art form like no other which sparks ideas and generates a unique unity between audience and performer.  We want you here!  Submit your proposal for The Players Theatre Improv and Sketch Residency.

The Players Theatre is dedicated to helping original plays and musicals move onto an Off Broadway or New York run.  While many  shows move onto readings and festivals few move beyond this point.  Through mentoring and a box office split this program is meant to help creative teams self produce their show. 

Proposals should Include:
     - a brief description of play or musical
    - estimated length or running time
    ⁃ number of actors and musicians
    ⁃ link to sample tracks (musicals only)
    ⁃ development history
    ⁃ creative team bios
    - PDF of script/book

Applicants are responsible for producing their show.  This would include, but is not limited to, hiring cast, stage manager, creative team, creative design and implementation, rehearsals and marketing.  Players Theatre will assist on marketing and consult on production.

For a split of the box office Players Theatre provides theatre, lights and sound, technician and box office personnel. 

Productions should be no more than 90 minutes in length.

If you are NOT from the New York area you will need to be prepared to be in New York at your own expense to produce your production.

Only one submission is allowed per applicant per round.
