Leicester Bay Theatricals often receives questions from playwrights on what we are looking for in the construction, writing, development, and producing of plays and musicals across all performance platforms.
- What does a play need to be accepted by a publishing company?
- What can I do to get my play produced?
- Should my play be a musical?
- Should my musical be a play?
- Should I write for a particular audience?
- Should I write for a particular theatrical market?
I will try to distill onto this page advice we have given and received from playwrights and friends. If anyone has advice or experience that they would like to share, please e-mail us with your comment. I have been reluctant to open this up as a true blog, as I have been a little leery of that form, due to so much spam and vitriol. After all, I do not want a Facebook battle happening on my site. But, the blog should be working.
Posts will be intermittent.
Posts are listed here alphabetically until we can actually open the BLOG again
