This is for all newcomers in the adventures of screenwriting. Veteran screenwriters are welcome too as your advice will be greatly appreciated. Share all your concerns for screenwriting whether it be for television, internet, or the silver screen!
"Living as an african Americian "is a great topic people can relate to the hardships and the problems that they are facing.or will face just being black. I think that will get anyone's attention.

Vanessa Richardson said… - I did a donation stage production last year. Asking for can goods, clothes, and such. I submitted donation letters to different business making them aware of my cause. They contributed. For this project I didn't charge an admission. The night of Drama I asked for a monetary donation from our audience. Asking them to support our drama staff. You may want to do this at the begining of show. People tend to leave very quickly after drama have concluded.
But, over all. My cast volunteers for my drama's. I use my church members. Performing dramas are expensive. What really pull audiences are celebrities. Until you build up your awareness in the business or your community. Word of Mouth is best advertisement.
Have you contacted you community theatre? Ask for sponsors in your area? Keep the faith, don't lose site of your vision. I hope this helps.

I am going to post some excerpts soon from our last performances, on YouTube, here and a couple of others sites as well. Do you!
Regards,
Vanessa

I don't know of a particular book, but having written a play that was inspired by one of my novels the best thing I can offer is:

@Cosaundra, are you preparing a pre-production and operating budget before going forward? I agree it's challenging to make money in theatre but I'm hoping with my third mounting it is not a break-even situation. I know exactly what I should have d...
