Ever wonder how to start a relationship with a theatre, or what happens when you send your script? This talk brings together those who are a writer's first point of contact at three major theatres. You'll hear each venue’s approach to discovering, supporting and championing new talent and leave with practical advice for how to make sure you're on their radar.
