I submitted my full-length play to a local community theatre and it was accepted for their slot that’s reserved for original works. The production is in a little less than a year.

What advice do you have for me at this point? I plan to do some more readings/development on my own over the next 6 months. I may end up directing it (I have a little experience in that but not much) but I haven’t discussed the specifics yet. Any advice you can share on the development process or on directing an original work?

What questions should I ask when I speak to them on the phone about specifics?

I’m quite skilled with Excel and data cleanup, data analysis, building dashboards, quality improvement, etc. I already do it full-time for work but I’m salary so there’s no opportunities for overtime. I’ve done a lot of work with local nonprofits so organizing a mess is my niche skill set. I would love to help small businesses or other nonprofits make sense of their data or teach people some beginner skills and efficiency tricks. Are there opportunities out there that are legitimate and pay at least $30/hour?

I have considered reaching out to local small businesses but that seems like a lot of up-front setup for no guaranteed work. I’d rather work for someone else since it’s just a side gig.
