HOW TO SUBMIT A PROPOSAL FOR MCT’s 2020 FULL PRODUCTION SEASON:
Mountain Community Theatre is currently accepting and welcomes proposals for productions for our 2020 season. We accept proposals from MCT members, our season subscribers, audience members and the general public. If you would like to see us produce a favorite play of yours in 2020, now is the time to let us know!
Traditionally, we have chosen plays that are well known or are written by recognized authors. However, we have also selected new plays of merit, and are willing to take a chance on those if we feel it will draw a substantial audience to the production.
We generally choose four productions for the year—a drama, a comedy, a musical theatre piece, and a winter holiday show. We have also been known to switch things around such as substituting the holiday show for another genre. Please see our PAST PRODUCTIONS webpage for information on previous shows we have produced.
HOW TO SUBMIT A PROPOSAL:
- Provide us with an electronic copy of the script. We will not consider shows without this.
- Confirm that you have determined that the play is available to be licensed for amateur theaters.
- Include a Note Outlining:
- Your Name and Contact Information.
- A Brief Synopsis of the Plot.
- Why you feel this would be a good show for MCT to produce
- For Musicals: Please provide us an electronic copy of the show (if available) with links to the publisher’s webpage and links to YouTube versions of the show, or songs from the show.
- If you are Interested in Directing the Show you are Submitting:
- Please let us know this with the submission.
- If you are new to MCT or have not previously directed for MCT, please include your theatrical/directing resume.
- Please let us know your availability to direct. What time(s) of year are you available to direct during 2020?
