So you want to enter a Theatre Festival – but which one?

The Producer's Perspective: One of my go-to recommendations for my writer consultation clients with new works is to hit the festival circuit.
While there are definitely some cons to being one show in a sea of so many others (can’t choose your venue, physical production limited to the set-up/strike time, etc.), the long list of pros usually makes it worth at least submitting the application to see if you get in (and if you don’t, you’ve learned something already – maybe it’s time to do a redraft).
