FAQ

Can I submit more than one show?
Yes — absolutely.

Do I have to have directed before?
No. We support assistant directors moving up and experienced directors alike.

Do I need to secure the rights first?
No — just check availability if you can. We’ll confirm rights later.

Can I propose an original play or musical?
Yes, as long as you own the rights or have permission.

Can I co-direct?
If you want to pitch as a team, that’s fine — include both names.
