Re: RAT Some Playwriting Opportunities...
Hey Adam,
Thanks for this. There's a lot of useful information
here. So I hope you won't take offense if I use it to
open a can of worms: READING FEES.
As far as I could tell, only one of the opportunities
you listed here charges a reading fee, but it's
certainly not uncommon and it irks me. If I were a
playwright I would make a point of never submitting my
plays to places charging reading fees. I can't
imagine I'm alone in this feeling. Thus, it seems to
follow that places charging fees are missing out on a
significant-- possibly superior-- subset of the
playwriting population.
Thoughts?
