I have now secured a performance venue and rehearsal space for Dating by the Book, a full length play of mine that will be shown on the 22nd, 23rd, & 24th March 2012.
The venue is Steeple Aston Village Hall, a grand affair that features a full sized stage, a complete lighting rig and even a dressing room with access to the stage. It will be the most professional looking stage set-up I've ever used. Seating is around 100, which means I need 300 people to see my play. That sounds kinda daunting when put like that, but I am ever hopeful that there exists people who want to see new writing rather than continued rehashes of stuff we've already seen many times before.
Of course getting a paying customer to take a risk on an unknown writer is not going to be easy. It's going to need some great pre-show publicity, a lot of hard work, and some eye catching posters. Thank God the script is good enough so the aforementioned paying customer won't regret his purchase. At least that's what I keep telling myself...
