We had three terrific events in Boston this spring. The first was a workshop on Contracts for Writers and Small Fringe Theatres, in partnership with the New England New Play Alliance. This is the size of company where most New England writers are getting their works staged, so it seemed important to educate not just ourselves, but also our collaborators on fair contracts for productions, commissions, and collaborations.
