I'm a new playwright and I'm having the toughest time with the next step. I've got my musical written. I've submitted it to contests and festivals, and gotten some rejection letters. I've started shopping around the local theatre scene here in Atlanta, and have had two (somewhat) serious interests. One theatre wants me to find the people to audition and then find people to fill their seats, which seems like it should be their job, but apparently they're not too good at it. On the advice of a fiction-writing friend of mine, I started investigating the agent route. Then I applied for the Dramatists Guild. What else can I do? My musical has been performed a few times before. I know it's good, that people enjoy it. I'm just so overwhelmed with the business side of it, and I'm not terribly patient. Any advice out there for a fresh-faced kid trying to win a Tony?

Update! I heard back from one of the theatres in Atlanta, and arrangements are being made for late September for my musical! No solid dates yet, but it's a nibble and I'm totally stoked!
