Submissions Only is a comedy web series about the casting and audition process for Broadway theater. It centers around aspiring actress Penny Reilly (Kate Wetherhead) and her friend, casting agency director Tim Trull (Colin Hanlon), and their circle of friends, colleagues, relationships and family.[1] The series was created in August 2010 by Broadway performers Wetherhead and Andrew Keenan-Bolger.[2] Wetherhead is the series' writer, while Keenan-Bolger is the main director and editor.[1]

The series has had three seasons. The first season started airing in October 2010 and had six episodes, the second season started airing in September 2011 and had eight episodes,[1] and the third season started airing in March 2014 and had eight episodes. Most episodes run between 15 and 20 minutes long.[1] The first season was produced on a minuscule[clarification needed] budget, and was shown on YouTube. The second and third seasons had significantly larger budget, and higher production quality. Episodes from the second and third seasons were originally shown exclusively on the website BroadwayWorld.com, which also partially funded the project, but were both eventually released on YouTube. Most of the funding for the second and third seasons was solicited through the website Kickstarter.[1] Broadway producer Kevin McCollum was a producing partner for the third season.[3]
