Michaelmas II Submissions 2025

Why hello there!!! Welcome to this year's Michaelmas II Submission form!! Time to get writing and start assembling those crews! If you're in search of some crew members, please check out our Crew Roster linked here.

There are minimal slots so, this term we encourage you to challenge us instead of trying to accommodate us, push the boundaries of the Players stage! We’re looking for shows that are ambitious, both in design and content, the stage is your oyster!

Reminder: you MUST attend a submission workshop, or my productions office hours, or get in touch if you cannot make any of these times. [Submission workshops take place in the Rehearsal Room on Friday the 17th at 3pm and on Tuesday the 21st at 10am. My office hours are every Wednesday at 2pm in Front of House.]

Submissions will close on Monday 27th October at Midday. Submission meetings will then be held on Sunday 2nd November! Happy submissions season <3

N.B. If you have something to submit but you think it may not be suitable for a full scale show, consider submitting to perform as part of our workshops week which will be Week 9 this term. Here is the link to that form!

Would you be happy to take on Interns into your production as part of Players Internship Programme? Interns are a great way for anyone who wants to know more about a particular role on a crew. They would join a department on your team and the head of that department would take on the role of their mentor, teaching them the process. I'd highly recommend :)*

YesNo

Please choose every department that would consider taking on interns.*

Is there any time for the submission meeting that you will be unavailable? (Sunday 2nd November, 9am-6pm)*
