At Theatre Boost, playwrights can get their scripts in front of literally hundreds of theatre companies with one simple upload.
Theatre companies, as you know, are located all over the country, and there are thousands of them – small, large, professional, community-based, new, old, in cities and in the country – there is no “standard” theatre company. So how do you find them? And even if you could find them all, postage isn’t cheap. Sending your script to all the theatre companies in the US alone would cost you thousands of dollars.
I hear you saying that you would never send your scripts to every theatre in the country – only the ones that are looking for shows like yours. Well – your time is worth something, too, isn’t it? We would argue that the time you would spend trying to scrutinize every theatre company to see if the kind of work they do is a match for your scripts would far outstrip the cost of postage if you value your time. Besides – you make money writing scripts (or would like to), not researching theatre companies.
Theatre Boost allows you to upload your scripts, describe them in ways that theatres would like to search for them, and then lets you move on to your next project (you know the one – the prince who gets out of an arranged marriage by pretending to be gay – yeah that one). The best part is that the theatres can check out the script and contact you if they are interested instead of the other way around. And on top of that, they will pay you your royalties directly through Theatre Boost. It’s like having an agent without all the bad toupees and annoying phone calls.
Where else can you get your script in front of so many theatre companies in one fell swoop? You may have your favorite script being produced in Ohio, Vermont, Florida, California, Idaho, and Kansas – all at once – before you can say “that Scottish Show.”
So register now as a playwright on Theatre Boost, and expose yourself (er- your scripts) to all the theatres in the country in one place!
