Dramaturg - as A Literary Agent


Two things to make a good Literary Agent:
(1)    What makes a good script
       (2) and your personal bias
*Know that it can be a good script even if you don’t personality like it.
 
Your theater submission policy…Who can submit and how they can do it
                agents
                Theater artists that can submit – from partnering theaters
                open submission
                ten page sample – for playwrights who don’t have agents
                                *resume
                                *cover letter
                                *ten pages of a script to convince the playhouse they want your script

Script Log:
an excel doc that contains
1.       the script number
2.       date received
3.       the author
4.       title
5.       agent
6.       submitters contact info
7.       who it was submitted to
8.       3 reader – signed in when first received and dated when finished


script report criteria – be brutly honest, precise, well and crafted
Know your theaters mission statement
Know your theater space
Why are you considering this script?
Recommendation

the 1st read – a script report
one – one ½ page

What makes a script good?
-          transitions from the page to the stage
-          keeping the audience in mind
