Volunteer

Metropolitan survives on the strength of its volunteer corps.  It is a great way to get involved, from the “inside”. Amiable people, laughter and new friends are some of the most obvious benefits.
It is also tremendously satisfying when the lights go up, to know that you’ve been a part of making it happen.
If you’re interested in joining us, join our volunteer e-mail list.  You can simply join the list, or let us know of your particular talents and interests in the body of the e-mail.

Actors

Metropolitan does not maintain a corps of actors; however, many performers return to the Playhouse within each season and over the course of our seasons, and we are devoted to maintaining the growth of this ensemble.

We post all notices through Actors Access, and we can accept unsolicited headshots and resumes at

Playwrights

Metropolitan does very few new works.  However, we are pleased to accept submissions throughout the year.  Please note that we will only consider producing scripts that take into consideration Metropolitan’s mission, history, goals, and, if available, the coming season’s theme. While we love to receive new works for review, due to the focused nature of our repertoire and the pressures of planning seasons at least a year in advance, general submissions cannot often be considered for immediate production.

All scripts are read for their coherence with Metropolitan’s work, their producibility, the immediacy of the issues raised, or the new light they cast upon American concerns.

Submissions–preferably of synopsis and 20 pp samples– may be sent to

connect@metropolitanplayhouse.org
or mail to
Artistic Director
Metropolitan Playhouse
220 East Fourth Street
New York, NY 10009

We cannot return any materials that do not come with a SASE.
