Welcome

Welcome To StageDotOrg
Production & theatrical services for Independent Minds

We offer production services for writers, actors, and anyone else interested in bringing their work to the stage.

At StageDotOrg we believe that to be successful – or even to be heard – artists must occasionally be willing to independently promote their work. As actors, writers and directors - we are not just proprietors, we are also clients of the services we offer. We have been down the roads upon which we encourage you to walk. We know the obstacles you are likely to face. We know the way.

And we hope our web-site will provide you with an understanding of what we offer, and why those services may be valuable to you.

Please feel free to contact us is you have additional questions.

Why to use our services:

Maintain full artistic control over your work
"Out-source" some (or all) of the production process
Limit the performance to a selected audience
Present your work to producers or backers to raise funds
Difficulty getting work accepted by traditional sources
Actors showcase
Evaluate a work in progress

We offer 4 package tiers. You may also select any individual service within a tier. Beyond Tier One (the Self-Production package) we require that you be an integral part of the process. We act as managers, schedulers, planners and advisors - creative decisions remain with you.

Tier One: Self-Production Package This is a complete how-to guide to producing a staged reading, with extensive supporting material. It includes a list of resources in the NYC area, but much of the information will apply to any location.

Tier Two: Staged Reading We will manage any or all aspects of the process of putting your work before an audience.

Tier Three: Full Production Same as Tier Two but geared to a full, costumed production. Includes these additional services: Contract negotiation, Theater space negotiation, ticketing services

Tier Four: Actors Showcase

A La Carte Services You may chose any of the listed services, without contracting for a package, or in conjunction with a package, if that service is not already included.

StageDotOrg charges a non-refundable reading fee of $20 for each work submitted. This fee can be applied to the cost of any of the packages listed, should you so desire. Before submitting work, please read the list of common reasons why we reject work - and think twice about submitting if your work falls into any of these categories.
Common reasons we reject work:

Length - If the work is too long (over 3 hours) for logistical reasons it may be impossible for us to produce - or may significantly impact the costs of production.
Number of characters / actors - If we can't fit them all on a stage, or if the logistics is too unwieldy we may judge the work not produceable - at least, by us.
Anything that will get us arrested.
Any special requirements, props, etc that may be too difficult to provide.

Please further note - the fact that you submit work in no way obligates us to produce it.

If you have additional questions, please email us at: producer@stage.org
