Event Notes
This course will provide playwrights with the tools to navigate the post COVID-19 new play development and production landscape. Much is changing and will continue to change. So now more than ever, it is important that playwrights do all of their homework before submitting their plays.
Over eight sessions we will cover researching opportunities, decoding mission statements and production histories, writing query letters, development statements, and making submissions. We will also discuss that dreaded word "networking" and discuss tools to make it less painful... and .... how to network while sheltering in place. The course will culminate with playwrights creating an action plan and query/submission package for one of their plays.
