Even though I understand where you are coming from here , they aren ' t doing it because of Vince McMahon . <| sep |> Read the book Outrageous Fortune The Life and Times of the New American Play by Todd London and Ben Pesner . This book clears up a lot of mysteries about the play development process . But don ' t get too discouraged . It is actually not too difficult to get a reading of a play done or maybe an amateur production . But even then it may only be seen by a small audience and go completely unnoticed . I now think you should target the greatest opportunities first and then gradually go down the scale to your local community theater and its staged readings . The Eugene O ' Neill Theater Center ' s National Playwrights Conference is the one of the premiere play developmental programs . They do blind readings and get qualified professionals to read the scripts , not some summer intern . And anyone lucky enough to be invited to participate stands a good chance of having their play done by a professional theater company . Although it is not exactly a theater , the National Playwrights Conference should probably be at the top of your list to submit to .
