First time play: Community college theater?

[DivaNicoletta]

I have written a full length comedy play. Not looking to make it big, don't even expect to get paid right away, just would like to see it preformed. Is it is a good idea to present it to the local community college? Even who reads it really likes it and thinks it super funny.Any thoughts?

It can't hurt, Diva.

You might have more luck, though, with a local theatre group (generally referred to as "community theatre"), instead of an academic setting.

Community theatres frequently sponsor "new writer contests" or are otherwise open to submissions.

I was just thinking of the community college because I used to be a student there and because I am still a college student,

Hi DivaNicoletta

You may want to look into Magic Theatre. I'm not from the area so I don't know too much about them, but what I do know is that they accept unsolicited manuscripts from Bay Area writers (everyone else has to go through an agent).

Congrats on finishing your first full-length play!
