Dear Theatre:
Attached please find my submission to your festival.
As you may or may not know, I charge $15 for
the opportunity to consider my plays for production.
I understand you charge $10 to submit for your
festival, which means if you would like to read my
play, you will owe me five dollars whether or not
you choose it.
Thanks so much.
P.S. Reading this cover letter just cost you $1.75.
Thank you for your invitation to send my script for
you to read and consider for production.
Unfortunately, I see you charge a submission fee. I
don't send scripts to theatres who charge fees. In
fact I have begun charging fees myself. You see
administrative costs being what they are, I can no
longer afford to continue to let people read my plays
for free.
Not only are things like paper and staples and
internet access expensive but the rising cost of
health care and my insane student loans from
playwriting school have made it impossible for me to
continue to offer my literature for free. I assure
you, however, that my work is of the highest quality.
I will be charging 20 dollars per page. Please let
me know what play(s) you would like to read and send
along your payment to the above address. (I also take
paypal) I will respond in a day or two with the
requested pages. If you find this is a play you want
to produce, (and I know you will) please contact me
for rights and I will consider if you are a producing
organization I wish to be associated with.
Thank you. I look forward to working with you.
Yours in solidarity and in the theatrical community,
Adam Szymkowicz
