A Playwright's Guide to Agents

December 6, 2024 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM (PST)

Description

Join us for a can't miss webinar from theatre agent Leah Hamos, who represents Lauren Gunderson among other nationally recognized playwrights. Leah will give us peek behind the curtain and share everything you want to know about having an agent as a playwright. 

In this session Leah will cover: 

  • When it is the right time for you to approach an agent 
  • How to approach an agent and what you need to prepare 
  • What an agent does and doesn’t do for a playwright 
  • What it is like to work with an agent 

Bring your questions! There will be time at the end of the session for a Q&A.

Leah Hamos is a Theatre Agent at The Gersh Agency where she works with writers, composers, lyricists, directors, and designers, among others. Previously, she worked at Abrams Artists Agency in the literary department, and with New York Theatre Workshop and the Lark Play Development Center in development and dramaturgy, respectively. She has served on the reading committee for the Lark’s Playwrights Week and as the dramaturg on a variety of projects at the Lark, Judson Memorial Church’s Magic Time, Woolly Mammoth Theatre Company, and Rorschach Theatre. Leah received her BA from Emory University with a double major in Theater and Sociology, and her MA from New York University’s Gallatin School of Individualized Study with a concentration in Theater Management and Dramaturgy for new plays.
