2019 Production Team Applications Are Open!

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.

Due to our status as a 501(c)3 Non Profit Organization we are unable to pay our production team. We understand that this is a large task to take on with that in mind. We do, however, hope you choose to donate your time to this 69 year old tradition.

If you are interested in applying for a position on our production team please fill out this application: https://goo.gl/forms/DqOMVpLY4UXBN24H2

The application will be available until March 1st, 2019 at 11:59pm.

Please reach out to us via email at thecharlessellerfoundation@gmail.com with any questions.

We are looking forward to hearing from you!

2019 Beneficiary – Sawyer Jane Barrow

The Charles Seller Foundation is thrilled to announce that our 2019 Beneficiary is Sawyer Jane Barrow of Bloomfield, NJ!

Sawyer is a 9-month-old who was born with a Vein of Galen Aneurysmal Malformation, or VGAM. VGAM affects the large veins that returns blood from the brain to the heart. Sawyer’s VGAM was diagnosed in-utero via an ultrasound, and was deemed very serious. She was born at 35 weeks and spent the first month of her life in the NICU at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. She has since been treated at Boston Children’s Hospital, and is currently stable.

Sawyers parents, Keith Barrow and Natalie Rodriguez, are both Bloomfield natives. Keith graduated from Bloomfield High School in 2012, and the Barrow family has lived in Bloomfield for more than 70 years.

The Charles Seller Foundation is so excited to work with Sawyer and her family this year!
