SELECTION PROCESS UPDATE

Greetings Playwrights,

We are in the trenches of insane amounts of reading for over 130 scripts.  The goal is to announce
script selections at the following times.

PRODUCTION:  Mid / Late July, 2012
STAGED READING:  Early/Mid July, 2012
SCRIPT WORKSHOP:  Early July, 2012

Thank you for you patience.  Select playwrights, as a part of our review process, will be provided
script feedback via a standardized form.  Only 10% will be provided this feedback and based
upon our play readers' discretion which plays will receive the feedback.  Please, do not ask for feedback
during the process as we are unable to accommodation the request due to our daunting ask.      

From the artist office at The Players Guild Theatre, thank you all for your hard work and dedication to
the growth of American Theatre and your own craft.

Best,

Jeremy Lewis

THE SCRIPT READING GOES ON !

Sitting here in Philadelphia, PA reading/sorting through the 143 plays submitted to our New Play Conservatory Program.  My goal:  To discover at least three (3) outstanding plans to produce and development.  I am looking to PRODUCE one new full length play in our 2012 season, provide a STAGED READING of a new script this summer 2012, and provide at least one new script a private SCRIPT WORKSHOP that will address the growth and strength of scripts with prior development history.  THANKS TO ALL for your submissions.  And thank you for your interest in The Players Guild Theatre in Canton, OH.

Please keep your eye on this blog throughout June 2012 to get updates on play selection.  The process or review your scripts is a large task which we at The Players Guild Theatre perform with great joy.  Sadly, we are unable to provide individual feedback on scripts.

Over 80 plays have been submitted thus far for The New Play Conservatory at The Players Guild Theatre.
Script reading has begun as deadlines approach!

Plays are being considered for 1) Production in The Players Guild Theatre 2012-2012 season, 2) Staged Reading program for the summer of 2012 and 3) Script Workshops that will be held between July 2012 and May 2013 (pending playwright availability to attend).

Media and persons interested in The New Play Conservatory program are encouraged to contact Jeremy Lewis, Associate Artistic Director at jeremy_paul_lewis@yahool.com or 330-453-7619 ex: 500.
