Act one is shorter; I’ve taken out everything that didn’t move the story forward. Act two is tighter and cleaner with expanded character development and stronger motivations for the crazy things these “people” do. And Act 3 (There is no intermission between Acts 2 & 3) winds up tightly with all the secrets revealed. ~I’m really quite pleased.
I’m also incredibly grateful for your financial support in making this possible. I’m grateful too, for our talented cast and crew who worked tirelessly at making this dream come true! Thank You! So, what’s next? Well, about 2 weeks ago, I jumped into the next phase of the operation: the process of submitting the play to theater companies all over the country for potential production. Most theater companies are inundated with new scripts, so they only accept a synopsis and a resume and perhaps 10 to 20 pages of sample dialogue. A few theaters will actually accept whole scripts from playwrights, while many only accept them from agents… and some not at all. Nearly all theaters can take between 6 months to a year to read and/or let you know if they are interested in reading more. If they’re not interested, you will never hear back anything. It can be tough to break through… but break through we will…. somehow; some way, or it’s on to self production! Which is how many theater companies get started, but that’s a story for another day.
Today is about gratitude. Thank You, Thank You, Thank You, for helping me get this far!~Now back to submissions! I’ve done more that 25 already… (Each one takes time…)
