This play won the 2015 Jane Chambers Playwriting Award and was a finalist for the Sundance Theatre Institute for Playwrights.  \nA production resume, SASE, and synopsis are enclosed.  \nThank you for your consideration.  \nSincerely,  \nJane Dough  \nIf you’re not absolutely sure, call and find out if a genderambiguous name like “Terry” is a man or woman. It’s a courtesy you should afford the person you’re addressing.  \nIf calling is not an option, start the letter this way.  \nAlways have your contact information somewhere tobe seen and easily found.  \nLet your reader know you read the solicitation.  \nLet your reader know you’re sending them the material they requested--in this case, a full-length drama.  \nIf a detailed synopsis is requested, there’sno need to goon about the play in the letter. If a detailed synopsis was not requested, describe the play more fully here.  \nIt’s always a matter of personal preference, but you can never go wrong with a closing that is short and clean.  \nLet your reader know that you’ve sent all the support materials requested. Send a resume, regardless of whether they’ve asked or not. That way, you don’t have to include too much personal information in your letter.  \nCite the name of the play and genre.  \nCite publications as if they were productions. Why not let whoever know that your work’s been published?  \nCite the name of the theatre that produced the play and where it was produced.  \n| JANE DOUGH | [jdough@fakeisp.com](jdough@fakeisp.com)[ ](jdough@fakeisp.com)555-555-9723 |\n| --- | --- |\n|  | 1501 Montrose Houston, TX 77101 |\n\nProduction History  \nDearly Departed (full-length drama)  \nWinner, Jane Chambers Playwriting Award (July, 2015)  \nFinalist, 2008 Sundance Theatre Institute for Playwrights (May, 2013)  \nEarly scenes published in The Best Stage Scenes of 2008, Smith & Kraus, Inc.
