The Charles Seller Foundation and Talent Time Players are in search of our Production team for 2019!

Each summer our members, who are in their mid-teens to early thirties, produce and perform a musical in which all profits benefit a family in the Bloomfield area who is burdened with high medical bills. Our work is both a rewarding and educational experience that allows our performers to not only grow professionally, but also fosters lifelong relationships.

We are actively searching for Directors, Choreographers, Musical Directors, Technical Directors, and Stage Managers who want to throw their hats into the ring to be a part of this amazing foundation this summer. All positions are open for lead and assistant roles. Time commitment for all positions will be from the end of May to early August.
