FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
How do I know if I’ve gotten my show produced?
The TheaterMakers Studio considers “getting produced” as presenting your show on a stage with an audience in attendance. This includes any level of staged reading, workshop, showcase, or full production.
What if I don’t get produced in 12 months after being a part of NextStage and completing all the guidelines above?
Ken Davenport will supply a budget for a staged reading of up to $10,000.
