HOW DO I GET MY SCRIPT READ?

Dear Theatregoers,
I'm eager to have my script read by just about ANY theatre company that's willing. It's a finished, polished work - that has even had a public, rehearsed reading in a recent drama exhibition in Sydney.

I am now eager for it to go further.
Does anyone know of any innovative, flexible theatre companies that would read such a script. Or pehaps any competitions that I could enter.

Just for the record; - it is a short 2 ACT play, averaging 45 - 55mins performance length. And the genre is black comedy.

Please e-mail me with any info you may have - it is greatly appreciated.

Jenny.

Great vision, Dave!

I like the principles of the idea and i believe (or is that hope?) there's a better than even chance that it may work in practice.

My feeling is our local professional companies just aren't adequately funded to provide sufficient opportunities for all the new writers appearng in Perth. The Blueroom is the (often literally) bleeding edge but focussed usually on smaller casts and minimal staging. Perhaps there is an opportunity here to fill in some of the middle ground.

Support from Stages and ArtsWA would be fairly critical. I wonder who's reading this?

Do you want to rough up and outline Dave and publish it here for comment?

Cheers
Grant
