                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I agree with #3 as I can't see how to start a new post so, sorry, I replying to this one about a list from Atmoshere Press that says it is accepting play scripts.  When you select them from the list there is a simple form to complete and a place to upload your script.  Although I am new to the subscription, I have sent out scripts to 20 organizations so far and I was puzzled by the lack of requirements.  So I opened another window and Googled them.  Sure they will "accept" scripts and "if you are selected they will contact you in 2 weeks."  What they fail to mention is that they offer 3 publishing packages that range from $7,000 to $30,000.  I'm not using this subscription to find companies to pay to publish my scripts and Atmosphere and others like it should be removed from this list.</p>]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I've been a member of Play Submissions Helper for quite some time now, and I (and my collaborator) have been fortunate that listed opportunities have led to a fair number of productions or staged readings. That being said, I'm concerned that, over the last several years, the listings have become so restrictive--either geographically or with specific limitations on those who can submit or the required subject matter--that only a handful of actual opportunities remain viable. Obviously that's not the responsibility of PSH, but the increasingly restrictive policies of theatre companies have materially decreased the value of a PSH subscription.</p>
