<DIV>Generally speaking, what is the playwriting community like around here? We see a lot of stuff about serial webisodes, YouTube programming, and indie films. But the only time I see anything about original stage scripts is when the usual couple/handful of local superstars get an original work produced.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> I just got a crazy idea, like, five minutes ago for something I'd like to produce but I don't know what the resources are hereabouts for obtaining original works---if there's enough talent and drive around here to collaborate with, or if I would have to draft something myself.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>So, I guess, the question would be: Is anyone still writing for the stage, whether it's a script that you gave up on or are still developing or have placed in the hands of an agent, or is playwriting a lost art in these parts? Or are announcements of original works plastered all over NEOhio-PAL and I 'm just not paying attention? </DIV>

<DIV>I don't want Too Much Information about what the premise of your script is, or where you're shopping it or anything too revealing about your project. This is just a survey question to see how strong the pulse of the local playwriting community is. </DIV>
