Synopsis:

Playwrights, directors, heads and members of ensemble performance groups, producers, and students and budding thespians starting out in the business will find a comprehensive resource to more than 50 festivals throughout the world. Readers will find expert tips to selecting festivals that are best suited to their work, as this directory explains which festivals are performance-driven, fringe, or playwright-oriented; which festivals draw producers with the deepest pockets; and which draw the biggest crowds. Every step of festival participation is covered: contact information, application requirements, auditions and tryout performances, face-to-face meetings and more. Readers will find all the tips they need to travel with their shows, such as customizing a production for the road, packing, budgeting, and obtaining insurance. This book also serves as a full business primer, answering essential questions on negotiating and networking with producers.
