Hi all, this is my first time posting here -
A one-act I penned goes up in two weeks, at the 78th St Theatre Lab in NYC. I'm new to the game, and I was hoping to maybe parlay this small achievement into getting an agent.
I have invites printed and a list of NYC agents. I had planned to send the invite to some of the agencies, but the tickets for the festival that my play is part of are $20.
It seems audacious for me to ask an agent who has never heard of me to pay $20 to see a 40-minute one-act. Should I send the invites anyway? I don't mind the time spent and costs incurred on my part, but is it fruitless?
Any suggestions and/or personal stories are welcomed.
