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.

No — just check availability if you can. We’ll confirm rights later.

Yes, as long as you own the rights or have permission.

Can I co-direct?
