High School/College Market

Have any of you had any experience with your local school districts, colleges and universities for your work?
If so, please share suggestions for contacting (beyond the obvious).
Thanks.

I guess I'll take this as no one has any experience or no interest in such a market.

We have one of our school discticts that is currently running CATS and using 200 HS students in the production. They will entertain local authors for their lesser productions, even one-acts for work shops etc. I don't know how many high schools are in the district, quite a few, and they all have viable drama departments. And, this is just one district!

I have found the local universities and colleges harder to work with for
some reason.

Exactally, Cat. The question is, what is "age appropriate". Some of them
have done all sorts of Broadway plays. What they really like, is tons of
characters so they can use all their kids.

I didn't see the production (only a picture spread in the newspaper) but it was a district wide endeavor. The coustuming looked pretty potent from the pictures. It is a big district with maybe fifteen or so HS in it.
I'm trying to get to the drama teachers, with little luck. Seems like
everything has to flow through the School Board and trickle down.
Mama told me this was going to be easy.

"I wrote a play in high school, which we produced. But I'm not sure that'll help you here."
Me, too. It ruined my life. I thought I was a star and writing was a piece of cake. I think that's the last time I heard a favorable word!

"...a ginormous budget"

A light aside.
Cheney came in the Oval Office one morning and said, "Yesterday, two Brazilian soldiers were killed in Iraq."
George yelled, "No, oh, no." and started to weep, laying his head on the desk.
After a beat, he looked up and asked, "Just how many is a brazilian?"
