About this conversation, from Lauren Gunderson:

We'll talk to Tina Fallon and Deborah Murad of The Dramatists Guild about all the business and legal aspects of being a playwright. We'll talk about how playwrights can build their careers, questions about contracts, agents, opportunities and legal pitfalls. Send me your questions for these two brilliant women who have every playwright's back.

I love The Dramatists Guild and so should you!
